Some history, influences, politics and reasons around the formation of the religious ( political ) movement that 'reverse engineered' the 'back story' of Judaism : One Book of the Law ' found' .... another 'bought with them from Babylon ' . https://www.jstor.org/stable/3136523?seq=12 Some archaeology regarding when the 'law' began to be practiced ( Archaeological review finds no evidence that the Torah laws were commonly observed before the second century B.C.E., says Prof. Yonatan Adler )

Yep, various types . But those crabs ^ look more like tiny 'bugs' to me - 'Mortan bay bugs ' or 'Balmain bugs' , but they are more related to lobsters than crabs .... What I used to delight in where soldier crabs , not at the beach but quieter water , estuaries and sand banks at low tide . Masses of them ! So many you can hear them as they scurry along . We would walk through a huge mob of them and watch the mass split or burrow in as we approached ( they do it pretty fast in a spiral, corkscrew motion ). Beware though ... some crabs are dangerous !

If we Ask O. Parpola ( ) * he will tell us that the original Indo-Iranian division ( between Gods and that seems a reflection of people's and cultures within Indo-Iranian ) happened way back in Yamnaya (if my memory is correct ) . So the concept didnt just spread south into Central Asia and thence Iran and India (by that route ) , but all over the places to where ...... (urrrgh ... terms ! ) 'Yamnaya influence' spread . *

It appears the correct Avestan usage would be asha via arsha, meaning cosmic order and truth . Old Persian contains a derivative term 'arta' . Several Mitanni names contained the Old Persian term arta. It transforms into Sanskrit r'ta . In the Rig Veda (4.42.1-6), Varuna declares, "I, Varuna, am the king; first for me were appointed the dignities of asura, the Lord. I let the dripping waters rise up, and through rta I uphold the sky." For the 'Avestans' building and maintaining a peaceful society based on law and order was the prime goal . 'arta' , r'ata , etc. seem similar to ancient Egyptian concept of Ma'at . Arta is found used in Old Persian Achaemenian names (e.g. Artakhshassa c.450 BCE) and in the Sogdian Avesta as well. Asha is the central ethical concept of the Avesta.

A 'cannibal feast ' I read a book once 'Eating God' I think it was called . part of it was how some sacrificial cannibal tribe got taught all this stuff by Jesuit missionaries , some thing clicked in them and then they understood .... 'just we like we do ! ' " No no .... not like that ! " (ummmm, yes, a bit like that - says Joseph Campbell ) Can you please supply the link to whatever wiki article you cited? I want to read all of it .

Heavily influenced by Zoroastrianism , in some core concepts seem to have existed in Zoroastrianism previously that passed into Mythracism , as the cited article outlines . It also shows how concepts embedded in the early Christian church that did not come from Zoroastrianism did come Mythracism It was a strange journey from this to doing this 'in remembrance of me' Incense, candles, ritual, a 'spoken spell' , different coloured robes, precious temple 'equipment'

Someone came up with a brill idea .... ' cultural heritage ' , it stopped the demolition of some of these , dont know what happens next through ? WA came up with a great idea . I was so impressed with the state of facilities in national parks and similar places ; clean, tidy, ( car parks, tracks, toilets, shelters gas BBQs etc . It turns out there where a few people living in these parks in squats where they where not supposed to be . It was difficult to remove them , so they offered them jobs in exchange for some rearrangements in their lifestyles ; they still get to live there but they do maintenance of tourist facilities, and now get an income too .

Well, in the 'old period', when they spoke Avestan and located in Central Asia a lot of Zoroastrian prayers where more like mantras . This indicates the closeness to the Vedic tradition and postulated to have roots in an earlier ' Indo _ Iranian ' culture . The main one and the others which seem related are somewhat obscure : " Given its syntactic density, scholarly agreement on a definitive translation, or even close approximation of its meaning, remains unlikely. Translations based on Middle Persian interpretations (and commentaries) of the hymn also exist and can differ greatly from those based on the Avestan original. " Mantra type . An example of one , with the more modern interpretation Ahuna Vairya " Both the lord and the leader are to be chosen because of their righteousness. These two appointments are made with good mind so that acts of life are done for the Wise One, and the dominion of God is well established, in which the chosen person becomes the rehabilitator of the rightful who are oppressed. " Ashem Vohu Righteousness is best (of all that is) good. As desired, what is being desired is truth for him who (represents) best truth. or: Order is the best good (reward/possession) there is. There are wished-for things in his wish for this one when his Order is for the best Order.[10] or: Truth is best (of all that is) good. As desired, as desired, truth is for him who (represents) best truth.[11] or: Holiness (Asha) is the best of all good: it is also happiness. Happy the man who is holy with perfect holiness!"[12] or: Righteousness is the best good and it is happiness. Happiness is to her/him who is righteous for the sake of the best righteousness.[13] Yenghe hatam That one (masculine or neuter singular) of the beings indeed is for worship who Mazda Ahura knows as better according to righteousness from the female beings also These ones (masculine) and these ones (feminine) we worship. airyaman ishya May the much desired Brotherhood come hither for our rejoicing, For the men and for the maidens of Zarathushtra, for the fulfilment of Vohu Mano (good mind); Whosoever Inner-self earns the precious reward. I will pray to Asha (righteousness) for the blessing, Which greatly to be desired, Ahura Mazda hath meant for us.[7] A liturgically inclined translation by Vazquez reads: May Airyaman bring aid to all people of Zarathushtra, And uphold the enlightened spiritual teachings, Which deserve enviable praise. I plead for the empowerment, Which Ashi provides through Asha, As Ahura Mazda has ordained. They are the four main old ones that go together as the 'main mantra' . The The afrinagan set seem to be remnant of the animal sacrifice rites of the Aryans ( which Zoroaster forbade ) The nirang set are for specific occasions and relate to the mantras . The Monojat set seemed Islamic influenced . I would venture to say that invocations of ' all powerful father' are more likely to arise in warlord cultures with patriarchal hierarchies . ( and then modified into a Christian 'loving father of hope' form . Zoroastrianism was not like that and seems based more on cultivating good qualities and equality of sexes . That was apparent right up to and through the Persian Empire . You might be right on the connection though , but I have not been able to find it .

You could try checking the astrology generally against natal transits to see if it was general or specific to you . -

I dont get that one ... are you saying its some type of psychological 'drive' ? and are you using the term in a regular sense * ( that I dont understand ) or have you adopted it as a term that describes something specific you have discovered ? ( Eg, I use the term 'soul' that way and 'spirit' - one's 'essential essence' , while many see it as some type of 'astral double' ghost ) . * An original model or type after which other similar things are patterned; a prototype. An ideal example of a type; quintessence. "an archetype of the successful entrepreneur." In Jungian psychology, an inherited pattern of thought or symbolic imagery derived from past collective experience and present in the individual unconscious. -

I discovered 'Kings' recently ; outdoor and 4WD center . I wanted a new solar battery , mine previously where 2 x 6v 120ah wet cell ,lead / acid .... and had been just about sufficient for years , but fading ( which is great as I got the second hand many years ago, supposedly 'faulty' - it turned out their charger was faulty , they found that out AFTER they gave away the old batteries to me and bought new ones ) . To replace those . about $600 EACH ! Then I found a sealed gell lead / acid 1x 12v 135ah at around the same price , so I should get that . Then I went to Kings ; 1 x 12v sealed AGM (absorbent glass mat ) 180ah at $280 . So snaffled it . At checkout, dude offered me an extra good quality led light , like an emergency engine / bonnet light , dial up intensity, hook on one end , magnet on the other ( I stuck it on the stove and the could not get it off ! some magnet ! had to use a knife under the edge ! ), rechargable AND the batter for $220 . ! Okay then . Had it about a month , very good quick recharge , slow discharge and good constant holding at low v. Some of these setups are getting pretty complex, but you dont have to go that far . A rather simple set up and you can be a cruising , camping , living for extended periods in the outback ! Just gotta take care you have enough water and fuel supply for the car . Storage, fuel and water, solar panels, management system, and fold out roof tent . When I traveled up the coast of Western Australia, I met a few camps like that ; people find a nice spot and just stay there as long as .... ? Some even made their own ' shack towns' ; start at 0:33 ;

Read more carefully ; I said 'indicate' I didnt claim 'mention' . (Although I hate to negate Daniels laughter at my supposed 'mistake' and 'confusion' . ) .
