The Zend Avesta of Zarathustra is the first encyclopedia of mankind, dating from much farther back in recorded history than ancient Egypt, China or India. It is itself a recapitulation of previous ancient traditions, lost in the mist of history. Those early heliolithic teachings were written only in pictographs-physiograms and ideograms, which often represent a more intensive reality than abstract words formed from alphabets. To explain the Creation of the Universe in a way that would be immediately and instinctively understood, Zarathustra used these pictographs to explain the unexplainable.ASHA means the Cosmic Order, which was established through the Creation of the Universe in all its component parts. The ancient Sumerians, followers of Zarathustra, greeted each other with the words Ashem Vohu, meaning the Cosmic Order is the best of all things. With this greeting they stated their belief that we do not live in a capricious universe-that everything is in balance, in harmony, and to the extent that we cooperate with and strengthen this balance and harmony, we form an intrinsic part of ASHA, the Cosmic Order. According to the Sumerian concept, everything started from a point. They chose this symbol to represent the infinity of the Creator because a point has no width, no length, no thickness, yet it contains within itself, as within each atom, an infinitesimal number of points, universes within themselves, just as our entire known universe is an infinitesimal part of innumerable unknown universes. According to their concept, at a time so remote it is impossible to imagine, there was a cosmic explosion of a point and this point created Time, Force, Space, and Matter. These are the pictographs used by Zarathustra to tell the story of this tremendous explosion which created our Cosmos.
