Consider

Consider a mother carrying her infant within her womb.

Consider the infant within her womb.

Regardless of other issues, the infant within the womb knows this world, only, to be its whole world. The infant knows this world to be where it came into being, and where it came to be aware. The infant believes it is in the real world – the only world it knows, and therefore the only world that must exist.

Consider if someone should come and tell it – that this world is an illusion. They tell the infant, this world is not the real world, but another world yet waiting for the infant to be born into. But, the infant has no proof or evidence that there is another world. This world the infant is in, is the only one the infant has ever known and therefore, the infant continues to believe that this is the only world that is real. To the infant within the womb, this world is the Universe and the infant knows only this.

The infant knows only that it grows and lives inside this world, this Universe, and may or may not have a sense of a being greater than itself – a being that is giving the infant life – a being that may be all around the infant, and always with the infant, but which the infant cannot identify, and cannot discern. The infant, within the womb, knows only that which is connected to the infant, and therefore thinks this ALL, must be all that the infant is, all the world is, and all the Universe is.

Then one day, it leaves this Universe.

Consider the human being,
living within a world which it knows this world, only, to be its whole world. The human being knows this world to be where it came into being, and where it came to be aware. The human being believes it is in the real world- the only world it knows, and therefore the only world that must exist.

They tell the human being, this world is not the real world, but another world yet waiting for the human being to be born into. But, the human being has no proof or evidence that there is another world. This world the human being is in, is the only one the human being has ever known and therefore, the human being continues to believe that this is the only world that is real. To the human being within this existence, this Universe is the only world and the human being knows only this.

Q n A

A few months ago I converted into Zoroastrianism. It is the faith of my ancestors. But, some things I can’t find in books.

Did Aryans also come from Atlantis or they originate in Russia/Central Asia as anthropologists claim ? When did Ancient Iranians and Indo-Aryans separate ? Avesta were composed in Iran or Central Asia and Vedas were composed in Afghanistan or India ? Zoroastrater was from Eastern Iran or modern day Herat ? W.S.

During those ancient days, Aryans were more considered a cultural and social grouping like religions or today’s Masons but were also concentrated in specific families and regional people. You can see how this would be handed down in families, like religious beliefs are handed down in families and groups/tribes/villages, but eventually as centuries passed, be thought that it is a racial aspect instead because of the genetic pathways paralleling the religious/social beliefs pathways. They were not racially connected originally, but were more familial connected through many generations. In modern times, the Aryan designation has been transferred to be considered as if it were a racial subset since the familial connection way of passing it down had been forgotten and does not get looked at.

This happens with the evolution of many social/religious paths over hundreds and thousands of years of being passed on – it takes on different characteristics and meanings according to the norms of those surrounding generations. This happens to most everything. It expands out of familial boundaries. For example, the Christian religion from the year 100-200 AD is very dissimilar to the Christian Churches of 1000 AD, and they are dissimilar to today, 2023 AD for the same reasons. What Christ taught to the 12 Apostles, like many other spiritual teachers and their followers, has been translated and re-translated many times, with each translation being influenced by the consciousnesses of the people of this or that particular time and in turn being influenced via passing beyond family boundaries into larger groupings of local people. There is no way this can NOT happen.

The same happened with the teachings of Zoroaster. With each generation, language changes, meanings change, understandings change, family containment and village containment changes, but this change does not render it unworthy of being studied. Not at all. The core messages can stay within the tenants and teachings. The Spirit of the teachings of Zoroaster are also the teachings of there being One God, and this God being a God of Peace, Love and Brotherhood. It is the Spirit of the message and teachings which seeks to survive, since all the tenants can still then be extracted from the core Spiritual message of the One God, Peace and Cooperation Among Peoples.

You might also consider looking into what the Edgar Cayce psychic readings say about Zoroaster and his followers.

Meanwhile, Atlanteans were the Red race, and this DNA can be seen to be in people’s all over the globe since they had the technology and machines to fly – as we have today. As Atlantis broke up in the last 25,000 years of its existence, Atlanteans mostly migrated into the North and South Americas, then into Europe and eastward, including into the middle eastern lands. I’m speaking in general since there are many general paths and unique paths which migrating people took – much like how people move around the Earth today, what with immigration and refugee happenings. Very little is easily separated out to be saying specifically that “XYZ happened and that’s all.” (By the way, the eons in which Atlantis existed, puts our own small history to shame. People wonder why there’s no proof of Atlantis, but the proof is all around us and shows up all the time. People who say there’s no proof, simply call it something else, and dismiss the possibilities and theories. When one is trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle without a guiding picture and with most of the pieces missing, there’s a lot of the final solution that will be lost.)

Still, with thousands of years of movement/migration around the globe, Atlanteans influenced and have genetic markers all over the place. Likewise, but with centuries instead of millennia, Aryan influence (among many others) has also been passed on through many social paths and not so much via families anymore what with having expanded beyond family traditions and then expanding out and getting blended into other societal groups and other societal belief systems.

There is always a whole lot of blending that happens as time progresses – like as happens today – where everyone is a blend of many different cultural, religious and social influences/paths AND even races – without even knowing it. This is one of the greatest purposes to all spiritual teachings – to be spread out among the people of the world even with its blending with what is characteristic of the local people. And we see this spreading out happening all through mankind’s history with each and every offering from the Spiritual Teachers.

In other words, the separations you’re asking about happened, but in the process of this happening, blended with other teachings as it traveled. There really is not such a thing as a purity of ANYTHING. But, there doesn’t need to be, either. In passing these teachings from one person to another, most people take what fits for them and temporarily discard what doesn’t. However, the guiding star of all this is the message which finds its way into so many of today’s religions and ways of living – that God is One, and all people are brothers and sisters, and from this, we can learn therefore to do unto others as one would have be done unto oneself.

If you’re looking for a pure source of spiritual teaching, start with what is being taught. The first teaching being: There is One God for all life. All life exists in Brotherhood with all other life, which includes for humanity – all human beings are brothers and sisters – all of us being children of the Infinite Consciousness of Oneness – the God of All – the God that is the Infinite One. From the One God comes all Truth and all Pure Teaching. But, of course, God works with and through the still-growing-still-learning humans struggling with God’s gift of free-will, and with our much smaller understandings of God, Spirituality and Life. Because of our smaller capacity for comprehension compared to God, we must define and understand within the paradigms which we currently hold, and then evolve as time proceeds.

From these spiritual teachings and similar teachings, Jesus Christ extracted and put forth “Love the One God above all else, and Love your neighbor [who is our mother, brother, and sister] as yourself.” (Jesus did travel through Persia and the India, during parts of his early life, studying and learning much – from the ages of 12 to about 30.)

When God wants to get a message out to a planet of people, God does this over and over, generation to generation, millennia after millennia, in many languages, in many social arenas, from many teachers, (many whom are average people with sincere hearts, like maybe who you and I know – as well as “you and I”) who speak the many different languages and have the many different paradigms of the current populations. This method of teaching works for humanity, and God will continue this way for as long as is needed on this planet and for all life on the planet.

This may not answer your direct questions, but this is what I psychically see and which came forth, and this could offer some insight into that which you are studying.
