I was reading a passage on Zaranthusta and Zoroastrian philosophy, however the way it was written was really hard to understand can you give me some insight into what that is exactly. Thanks in advanced.

I have superficial knowledge about Zarathusta so I had to do some research about this subject.
http://www.zarathushtra.com/z/life/index.htm
This is a good site aboutZarathustrha's life

Zarathustra, never assumed prophethood. He never claimed he had associated with the Lord of cosmos whose width galaxy extends more than 36 milliard (36 thousand million), light year, which lies beyond our imagination. Zarathustra, never ordered his followers to perform certain activities, but he recommended them to try to know the creator of the earth and heaven and adopt good manner, on the basis of their wisdom. Therefore, Zarathustra was neither a prophet, nor we can call his spiritual path a “religion,” rather he was a thoughtful benevolent who recognized his God on the basis of his wisdom and never said he had been missioned to bring any message from God to human beings

Zoroastrian philosophy
If you d like to read about Zorastrian Philosphy this website gives you a general overview of what the philosophy is all about. Zorastrians believe in Heaven and hell too. here is an extract:
According to Zarathushtra after we leave this life, our essence leaves the body, and depending on the choices that it has made, either it will go to the House of Songs or Realm of light (if he has made good choices) or to the Realm of Darkness and Separation (if evil choices). Heaven and Hell are not physical places, but are described as timeless states of consciousness: either state of oneness with or separation from Ahura Mazda.

What the words are? If I feel it's ok to tell about it, I will. And if I feel it shouldn't be known, I won't. I wish you understand that there are many things that should be kept in secret. But, what the words are?

What!!!


myLot reputation of 66/100. Starchaser (773)  2 years ago

In your post you said you read some verse, and didn't understand it, and asked if someone could tell. So I asked you what the words you didn't understand. Hopefully it's nothing that must be kept a secret, as mostly those things are not available publicly.

Oh no I did not read a verse I read a report of someones where they talk about these things however I dont fully understand the premise behind the person or the religion.


myLot reputation of 66/100. Starchaser (773)  2 years ago

There's nothing I can do, then. Anyway, in case you ever encounter such thing again: usually it needs lots of reading and reading to understand it. It is almost impossible to understand any sacred writings in the first time.

One thing I remember about Zarathustra is that his teaching was about duality. The existence of good and evil powers still fighting each other. I haven't read any of its books, though, just a bit about the concept.

As I understand it, which is not greatly, there are supposed to be two equally powerful deities, one good, one bad. They are continually in competition.

all the best urban
