In this video I cover Zoroastrian Cosmology as told in the Bundahisn, or 'the Primal Creation,' a sacred Zoroastrian text.

Zoroastrianism was the dominant pre-Islamic religion of Ancient Persia. It painted life in the material world entirely in dualistic terms.

The teachings of Zarathustra (Zoroaster) can be reductively summarized in the three key behaviors necessary to bring about the peaceful age of earth, where Ahriman is vanquished: Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds.

I am Iranian. This video was truly amazing. Content such as this helps us Iranians connect to our past, our true nature, history, and religion.

May the lord protect you.

People underestimate how much of our modern world started with this religion and persia .. literally everything

23:34 I drew that picture of Zoroaster. I love seeing my art being used in youtube vids 😊❤

As a student of Western Esotericism, I have noticed lately the syncronistic nature of Zorastrianism & my studies. Much appreciation to you.
For those who are interested, look up Rudolf Steiner's teachings on Ahriman & how it relates.

This has quickly became one of my favorite channels. This is gonna be good!

This eightfold expression aims to combine the mathematical, physical, theological, and biochemical perspectives into the simplest integrated presentation while maintaining truthfulness to the core principles. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional thoughts!

Here is my attempt to synthesize the metaphysical framework into the simplest and most truthful eightfold expression:

1) The Zero-Source (⦰)
An ineffable, non-dual, transcendent Godhead - the supreme Zero-Absolute preceding all existents as the infinitely dense plenipotential singularity.

2) The Trinitarian Seed (𝟯)
From ⦰ emanates the primordial Triadic seed (𝟭, 𝟮, 𝟯) - the sacred root pattern governing all pluralities as the archetypal Father, Son/Logos, Spirit dynamics.

3) The Enneadic Pleroma (𝔈)
The 𝟯 seed proliferates the 9-dimensional (9D) enneadic pleroma 𝔈 = {1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D, 9D} instantiating the full fractal logogrammatic environment.

4) The Mirror Cosmos (𝔈')
Our observable 9D cosmos 𝔈 is perfectly mirrored by an isomorphic yet inversely-structured 9D anti-cosmos 𝔈' across the ⦰ boundary, reflecting the Godhead's complementary plenitudes.

5) Symbolic Transcription
All structures and dynamics in 𝔈 are symbolic logogrammatic transcriptions of zeronoumenal protological "source codes" uttered from ⦰ across nested dimensional strata.

6) Hyper-Dimensional Sources (11D, 12D, 13D)
Ineffable hyper-dimensions encode the pre-logical archetypes, catacosmicprotractive utterances, and theophanic linguistic rules precipitating 𝔈's codified instantiation within the 10D horizon.

7) Biological Self-Similarity
The triadic 𝟯 pattern is holographically embedded across all scales, from biology's DNA helical trinities to human consciousness capable of retracing its zeronoumenal resonances.

8) Anamnetic Theurgy
The human soul, bearing ⦰'s triadic stamp, can undertake an anamnetic path of participatory spiritual praxis to experientially recapitulate the theophanic unfolding towards kosmokataphatic reunion with the patremPluriverse source.

In summary: From an ineffable Zero-Source, a sacred triadic seed proliferates a 9D pluriversal reality mirrored by an anti-cosmos - with symbolic laws transcribed across dimensions from pre-logical codes in ineffable hyper-realms - all holographically embodying triadic patterns in biological life and human consciousness capable of retracing this metaphysical path through participatory gnosis towards unionized reintegration with the One.

The new thumbnails are nice. A bit retro!

Best video ive seen on the subject so far!

In the Gathas of Zarathushtra, an evil entity as Ahriman or Satan does not exist and the concept of Ahriman or devil is absent in the Achaemenid inscriptions as well. Gathas discus the two ways of thinking, good or bad that will result in good or bad words and deeds. One will result in constructive result, and the other will be destructive.

Zurvan is not mentioned in the Avesta, this idea is introduced by Zurvanists much later on. Ahura Mazda and Spenta Mainyu are not identical concepts, that sometimes confuses people. Also in my opinion the 7th century BC is a fair estimate for the date Zoroaster wrote the Gathas since their so similar to the Yashts' language, and they mention writing and Buddhism. I don't agree with all of this, but James Orr says:

Zoroaster's prince Vishtaspa (in Greek Hustaspes) bears the same name as the father of Darius I, and was probably the same person. Vishtaspa's queen Hutaosa, who also protected and favored Zoroaster, bears the same name (in Greek Atossa) as Cambyses' sister who afterward married Darius, and probably belonged to the same family. Zoroastrianism comes to the fore under Darius, whereas Cyrus in his inscriptions speaks as a decided polytheist. Hence, we conclude that the earliest part of the Avesta belongs to circa 550 BC.
...
Herodotus makes no mention of Zoroaster, but speaks of the Magi (whom he calls a Median tribe (i.101)) as already performing priestly functions. His description of their repetition of charms and theological compositions (i.132) would agree very well with recitation of the Gathas and Yasna. Mention of controversies with Gautama, Buddha's disciples (Yasht XIII, 16) who probably reached Persia in the 2nd century BC, is another indication of date. The fact that in both the Yasna and the Vendidad heretics (zanda) are mentioned who preferred the commentary (zand) on the Avesta to the Avesta itself, is a sign of late date.

Other scholars like Moses Gaster and James Darmesteter share this view, as does Parsi Tradition IIRC. No disrespect of course, but I think carefulness pays!

I like Ahura's aeroplane. He sits in an open cockpit like the first aeroplanes.

It funny to me when I herd about this. This is like my first video outside from hearing it from another person.

Their a YouTuber name bill donahue who was a Christian preacher who talk about the actually teaching in the Bible’s in his works he does he literally explain about the religion of other country who it impact us and how it take shape. Especially when he tell you how Zoroastrian was the one who so called told the prophet of a messiah. How the stars lead the way to find so called Yeshua aka Jesus. Bill said these guys are Magi, Astrologers. They read the stars and that lead to this. It funny how the star they was going for was and is Virgor the virgin constellation. And when you go deeper into bill lectures he literally give you what being said how things are actually adding up. How the constellation is telling a story, how teu sign are being put in place. Even the Bible said let the star be for sign and why was it name . Soo much but it just wild.

Hello! Could someone tell me whether there are ascetic movements in Zoroastrianism? Wikipedia says that there was such a movement in Zurvanism.
And another question. Are there people in India who simultaneously respect and worship the gods of Hinduism and Ahura Mazda?

[joshuavalente]

I’m waiting for you to mention Zurvan, the father of the two gods…
He’s duality- unified. In a lot of his depictions he looks like the Greek Phanes- because they’re basically the same

[AvestanLexicon]

Great documentary. I have a channel dedicated to exploring Zoroastrianism!

[caseymckenzie]

Babylonian or Gnostic 22:34 there’s a lot or mis interpretation here 🙃

[scampbell]

Where is AngreManu? Ahriman is the same, is it a different name for the same god?

[anaccount]

This is leading up to Mithraism isn't it?

[tyrlant]

Its crazy to think these zorasters, the hindus, greeks, romans, a lot of the early muslims and mongols, were all indo european people- they sure ruled during a lot of "golden ages". Nobody has a history like them, a lot of other groups claim their accomplishments because nothing their ancestors did could ever approach what the indo Europeans did. But, like in india, over time they mix with the natives or like rome import barbarians and lose their greatness. Its happening in europe now.
