“JOHN THE SON OF ZEBEDEE On the Various Appellations of Jesus: You have remarked that some of us call Jesus the Christ, and some the Word, and others call Him the Nazarene, and still others the Son of Man… Many times the Christ has come to the world, and He has walked many lands. And always He has been deemed a stranger and a madman… Have you not heard of Him at the cross-roads of India? And in the land of the Magi, and upon the sands of Egypt?... And know you not of Mithra the king, and of Zoroaster the prophet of the Persians, who woke from man’s ancient sleep and stood at the bed of our dreaming? We ourselves become man anointed when we meet in the Temple Invisible, once every thousand years. Then comes one forth embodied, and at His coming our silence turns to singing… In my heart dwells Jesus of Galilee, the Man above men, the Poet who makes poets of us all, the Spirit who knocks at our door that we may wake and rise and walk out to meet truth naked and unencumbered.” ~ excerpt from a notable book “Jesus, The Son of Man” (1928) by Lebanese painter, poet and author Khalil Gibran… the fictional literary work provides aspects of Jesus through dozens of his contemporaries… …interesting notation on Indo-Iranian divinity of sun, oath and light Mithra as well as the first known philosopher Iranian reformist Zoroaster… also we’ve discussed how in ancient Aryan beliefs the WORD is how mankind makes a distinction between a worthy poet that will lead one down the right path versus the wrong poet that will lead one to darkness… further Iranian calculation of major events took place every 1000 years… [pic tumblr Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Roma: An image from the 18th c. book on alchemy “Clavis Artis,” attributed to Zoroaster … for educational purposes only]
