Giorgio Tsoukalos on Satan
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!Zoroaster (aka Zarathustra) supposedly lived 3000 years before Jesus. He preached that human existence is a constant struggle between truth and deceit. Ahura Mazda is He who is truth; creation and existence are that which are truth. Zoroaster also preached the concept of Free Will (if you haven't been to a Judeo-Christian church, that might not seem like a big deal). Good thoughts, words and deeds will keep chaos and deceit at bay and bring happiness to the world. Eventually Ahura Mazda will overcome Angra Mainyu, the embodiment of deceit, and the universe will be restored to its majesty, a savior will appear to renovate the world, and even the dead shall rise for all to be reunited with Ahura Mazda. Ahura Mazda spoke to/through Zoroaster by means of Amesha Spentas, the Holy Immortals who are not Ahura Mazda but part of Ahura Mazda just as the rays of the sun are not the sun but part of the sun, and each of the Amesha Spentas was assisted by Yazatas, those Worthy of Worship (so while one god is worshiped, many lesser entities are worshiped as well as individual parts of that one god, like praising a dominatrix's feet). Fire and water are the purest forms on Earth, water was created second and fire last, whereby water is the source of wisdom and fire is the means through which one can achieve insight into that wisdom. Each of us starts as a soul and is protected by a Fravashi, a guardian spirit if you will, who sends us out into this material world to partake in the struggle between truth and deceit; when we die, our experiences and knowledge then further contribute to the battle in the spiritual realm.
