The Great Teacher

   The first teachings to the Ayrean people were received by their Arch Mother: Ainyahita. The second revelation of the Divine Will was given to the Great King Jamsheed (Gāthic: Yima Khshaeta) which teaching was later deformed by priests into Mithraism. They discontinued explaining the original, purely symbolic meaning of Mithra killing the already dying, deadly poisoned bull, sprinkling its last remaining pure drops of blood onto the earth as seed for the new creation: the new creation rising from the deceased previous one. Instead they increase their personal power and wealth by adding rituals including the bloody slaughter of bulls and the use of intoxicating drink. This is why it became necessary to once more re-introduce the pure teaching to the chosen people of Ahura Mazda, and the "lost sheep" - their descendants who emigrated to far-off lands. The Great Teacher was born with this mission: to re-instate the pure teaching, leading man to full consciousness and the right way of life: living in Peace on Earth - Khshathra Vairya.

this is the oldest known picture of the Great Teacher

The Great Teacher was taught by his father and by his mother

   Ancient Symbolism: the Great Teacher, in the picture above, is wearing an upwards pointing cap on top of his head to symbolize the God-given wisdom of Good Thought at work in him. The same symbolism can be found in the headdress of the Tibetan monks (see picture below) and of the Persian Sufi masters: a Trinity is symbolized by one object in the form of a headdress, the other two are held in the Right and Left hands.
   As can be observed from the symbolism of the attributes held by the Great Master in the picture above, the teaching was about living a Good Life: balancing the
Male (symbolized by the staff held in the Right Hand) and the Female aspects (symbolized by the Cup held in the Left Hand). Other symbolisms for this duality, much like Yin and Yang, are:

Female Male
Preserver Creator
Sra-Osha Ahura Mazda
Red White
Blood Body
Wine Bread
Cup (Grail principle) Staff of Life (Grain)
Left Hand Right Hand
Water Fire
Aredvi Sura Anahita : The Daughter of Ahura Mazda Mithra : The Son of Ahura Mazda

See Below: In the Deck of Tarot Cards, one can also find the symbolism of
Staff (= Wands) and Cup

   The distinction between Female and Male as inter-attractive an pro-creative duality in Life is can be found back in many of the oldest known civilizations and traditions, such as illustrated symbolically in the ritual objects of Himalayan Priests of Tibet, like their "Damaru" ritual drum, which is made of two human skulls, on one side the one drumhead representing the Male element is ritually painted White with male semen, on the opposing side the drumhead representing the Female element is painted Red with female menstrual blood; the banging sound of the drum symbolizes the heartbeat of (pro-) Creation.

Left: Lama Priest showing the way the Damaru drum is held. The colour of the skins has become soiled by antiquity.
On the right picture, the white skin is facing, the red one is on the other side.

 

And even the metal ritual objects of a Tibetan Lama do represent the Duality, just compare :
Right : Dorji Vajra (staff) and Left : Drilbu Bell (Inverted Cup)

 

   One example can be found  in Bulgaria, where the Bulgarian (Bolg-Aryan, Bolg or Fir Bolg being the name of the Celtic tribe belonging to their ancestors) people have kept their ancient tradition of remembering this original duality by once a year wearing two small balls on their dress: one white and one red. This tradition has been made known outside Bulgaria by their Great Teacher , Omraam Mikhael Aļvanhov, (pupil of Peter Deunov of the Universal White Brotherhood). Looking closely we can find many more examples in other cultures, even the British Isles or the America's!

   Mind you: this is the only duality taught to and by the Great Teacher: as long as Mankind, as part of the Physical Creation, is pro-Creating, there just will have to be the Holy Two of the Duality of Eternal Life. This is NOT indicated by the difference White/Black as used for Good/Bad (implying one of the sexes is "Good", the other is "Bad": nonsense!), but by the difference in in colours White /Red (see above too).

The Incarnated, Living Word as the start of Creation

   The negative of the female would be , but equally, the negative of the male would be , belonging to the Khrafstra's (evil spirits, devils) of the forces of darkness of Anghra Mainyu (Ahriman),

   Also, the "so- called" duality of "good" and "bad" ,of "light" and "darkness" &c. are not really a duality, as the two are not of equal importance and strength. For in the end, "Good" will always win, just as darkness is just an absence of light, even the "bad" thought , or ignorance, is just a consequence of the absence of Good Thinking, or Wisdom!

   The first Teacher of this teaching whom we will find mentioned after the Great Teacher is Melchizendek, the Priest-King who ruled in Salem (at the place of the present day Je-Ru-Salem, or Urusalim). He also taught about the ritual communal meal where Bread and Wine were shared. It was at this occasion that he spoke the words: "This is my Blood" holding up the chalice of wine before drinking, and "This is my Body", before breaking the bread to be eaten. That is to indicate that "You are (bodily) what you eat" (and what you drink). It is for this reason, that on the ancient Chessboard of Asha (see picture below), Man is symbolically standing in front of the Creator, and next to Food, that is standing in front of the Preserver: Mother Earth.

The 4 central positions of the Forces of Light, on the Chessboard of Asha.

That is why the Nazarene Essenes of Mount Carmel (who never called themselves "Essenes" but who were in fact Zarathustrians, calling themselves "Children of the Light") said: "I got my Spirit from the Heavenly Father, and my Body from Mother Earth."

   The Great Teacher received his first lessons from the female traditions of Ainyahita, told by his mother, and from the male traditions as told by his father, including the very ancient traditions about how at least three previous human civilizations were destroyed because mankind would not live in harmony with itself and with nature and the cosmos.

IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE TEACHING OF THE GREAT TEACHER

When the Great Teacher started on his mission, the important things he wanted to change were meant to diminish the importance and influence of the then present Priestly Class, with the following results:

The people could again be free to get in touch with God by communicating directly: without middle-men (Priests and the likes). Like his Saoshyant successor in Galilee taught later, he also taught his Ashavans (disciples of Asha) to: " Do become Perfect then, just like your Heavenly Father !". But as Power often corrupts, the Priests would always try to stop this Development, this Progress, just to keep the "believers" dependent from them and to retain their own importance and income. As the Avesta says: an Ashavan should work, with Haurvatat, (through creative, life-restoring work) towards the Perfection of body (cleanliness and health) and soul (holiness) to reach Ameretat, Immortality: The Eternal Life in the  Garodman, the Eternal Home of Ahura Mazda (see Yast XXII: "Where does the Soul abide?" for this)..
Very important for this is also the exact knowledge of the Staota (Power of Holy Sound, in the Gathic tongue) of the two Primeval Prayers, and the chanting of them: the
"Ashem Vohu" for the Bodily Balance within us and the "Yatha Ahu Vairyo" for the righteous, Good Mind, which was placed within us too by the Creator.

The believers ( Ashavans: followers of Asha, the One Law) would know there is just One God, and all the so-called demi-Gods or false gods, were in fact corruptions of the manifold qualities of the One God: like Armaļti is really His Love, Bahman is really His Wisdom, and so on, as taught in his teaching on the Principles of Life that ARE the reality of Life, by means of the Chess game of Asha.

The bringing of Sacrifices to God by bloodily  killing animals, or burning live plants should stop; How could the Creator ever be pleased by seeing parts of His creation killed, destroyed and then offered back to Him, while it was already His, as he made it perfect originally? In the Avesta, when the Great Teacher asks Ahura Mazda  what pleases Him, or even his creation (Earth) the most, he clearly indicates that there are other ways to please Him, such as in Fargard III and Yast XXI: The Most Worthy Invocation.

The stopping of the use of intoxicating drinks or food, such as the  Haoma which was employed as a "Holy Drug" by the Priestly class before the Great Teacher came, and as it was gradually returned (like the bloody offerings) after his death. Specially for this purpose it was He who bred the Grain of Wheat from the family of grasses, as an important ingredient for HIS, NON-intoxicating recipe of Haoma. As the tradition goes: "It was He who grew the Grain from Grasses, the Artichoke from the Thistles and the Apple tree from the Roses."
