    About this ebook

    Eve East and West of Eden two is the story of a woman who was born in Iran but grew to adulthood through the cultures of Europe and the United States while never fully surrendering her Persian heritage. She became successful in business and has returned with her daughter to the Middle East in search of a wholeness which can embrace the best of each culture she has adopted.
    In her search for authenticity as a woman, as a citizen of the world, as a daughter, as a mother , she generalizes her own experience to lay it over the experience of the planet entering the Twenty-first century. In the Middle East she finds the rich soil for discovering spiritual healing and loving perspective, while never quite attaining the peace she, and all humankind, spends a lifetime pursuing.
    There is much in her story about her journey to reclaim her heritage to connect to her roots.in the stifling male dominated societies. In the mites of all she finds the destiny plays upper hand when she find herself irresistibly connected to her roots to farsi language of her childhood and to a soul mate from the past who help her to save himself through saving her in this life .. Where she accepts to transform her thought from the tragic of Mideast mistrust to trust and surrender in hope for common ground between Persia and America for peace. Among the patterns she weaves are the threads of hope for her daughter and through her, hope for the children of the world who will inherit the next opportunity for planetary healing

      INTRODUCTION

      FarsiintroductionPdf3092012.pdf

      All my life I have felt like a wanderer, a person without roots. As a woman who was born into a cross-cultural environment, I have experienced the frustrations, fears and shortcomings of being schooled in a number of different institutions where language and customs were foreign. Today, I speak Farsi, English, French and Arabic. I dress according to the acceptable codes of the country where I find myself visiting, residing or doing business. . For me, there is no right or wrong; there is only honor and respect for the local morés, whatever they happen to be.

      FarsiintroductionPdf3092012.pdf

      That was not always the case. For years, my daily life, my value systems and my relationships were governed by the same confusion, ambiguity and separateness that have caused major cultures of the world to regard each other with fear and disdain. This separateness has been at the foundation of brutal wars that have literally ripped apart the planet. If one stops to think about it, it’s a miracle we are still alive today.

      FarsiintroductionPdf3092012.pdf

      It has taken me a long time to come to this point of integration where I can be at home in both the West and the East; and I find no reason why other young people today, including my own eighteen year-old daughter, Marwa, should have to repeat my painful experiences. We are living in a new world. The Internet, jet travel and other modern technologies have continued to shrink the time and space between countries and nations. Why can’t we all live together, celebrate our uniqueness, at the same time enjoying pleasures that are common to all people? Who doesn’t love to laugh? Who doesn’t have an appreciation for nature and its wonders? Regardless of our heritage, the gifts and opportunities of freedom, growth and joy are common to all people. Who cannot feel grateful for the experiences of self-discovery that open us to our unique talents and gifts?

      FarsiintroductionPdf3092012.pdf

      I believe it is possible for Eastern and Western philosophies and cultures to live side by side – and together. And because I truly believe we can achieve global unity, I have chosen to devote my life to developing a number of online international schools that will promote understanding, peace and harmony through a new form of education.

      The first of these schools, a prototype, will be located in the United Arab Emirates, where I now reside with my daughter. In the following proposal, I shall outline the mission and philosophy that will govern this pilot school and briefly present a curriculum of studies that I believe will accomplish our goals.

      CHAPTER 1

      March 9, 1997

      Marwa and I are on our way to Dubai. I know there will be a visceral response in my stomach to match the sound of the wheels of our plane when they touch the soil of Arabia. But even now, moments before that finality, I am not sure if I am taking my four-year-old daughter home to the land of her ancestors. Am I taking her to her home of the sands which nourished the blood which flows through
