Written by From The Gospel of Asha: Unmasking the Shadow God and Reclaiming the True Light
1. A Gospel Not of Law, But of Light
The message of Jesus, when stripped of later church constructs and institutional overlays, is profoundly simple — and profoundly Gathic.
He came not to reinforce religious control, but to liberate the soul through alignment with a deeper truth — one that echoes the ancient voice of Zarathustra, the first known prophet to proclaim a moral, monotheistic path built on Asha: truth, righteousness, and right thought.
Jesus did not preach fear. He preached freedom from the lie.
He did not seek sacrifice. He desired mercy and alignment.
2. The Gathas: Asha, Free Will, and the Moral Choice
Yasna 30.2–5:
“Hear the best with your ears, consider with a clear mind, then choose your path, each man for himself. Before the great trial, let each declare himself for the truth or the lie.”
This is the essence of Asha:
- Radical moral clarity
- Cosmic freedom to choose between good and evil
- A call to inner awakening, not outer ritual
3. Jesus and the Same Call
John 8:32
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
Matthew 5:8
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
Luke 17:21
“The kingdom of God is within you.”
These are not the words of a legalist or tribal prophet. These are the words of one who speaks the language of Asha — a universal moral truth accessible to the soul, not owned by any priesthood.
Jesus constantly challenged the legalism and authoritarianism of YHWH’s cult:
- He overturned Temple commerce (John 2:13–16)
- He healed on forbidden days (Mark 3:1–6)
- He forgave sin without sacrifice (Luke 7:48)
- He refused to condemn the sinner (John 8:10–11)
This wasn’t reform — it was revelation.
4. Spenta Mainyu and the Spirit of Christ
Zoroastrianism teaches that Ahura Mazda creates through Spenta Mainyu — the Bounteous Spirit, the extension of divine goodness in the world.
In the Gospels, Jesus says:
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor…”
His mission is not conquest — it is healing, clarity, justice.
In Zoroastrian terms, he embodies Spenta Mainyu — the creative, compassionate force of divine renewal.
5. Rejection by the Priests, Loved by the Truth-Seekers
Just as Zarathustra was rejected by the priests of the daevas, Jesus was rejected by the Sanhedrin, the religious establishment who served a distorted god.
“Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear My word.” — John 8:43
The religious leaders clung to YHWH’s Law. But the people — the tax collectors, the women, the outcasts — recognized the light within Him. They knew, instinctively, that Jesus spoke of a God not of vengeance, but of truth.
6. Jesus Did Not Point to YHWH — He Pointed Beyond
Jesus never once used the name YHWH. Instead, He spoke of:
- Abba — the compassionate Father
- The Light — John 12:46
- The Truth — John 14:6
- The Spirit of Truth — John 16:13
These are not names of the tribal god of wrath — they are attributes of Ahura Mazda.
The Return of Asha Through Christ
Jesus did not bring a new religion — He restored an ancient flame.
His gospel is not of Law, but of Light. Not of blood, but of truth.
It is the Gospel of Asha — renewed for a world drowning in Druj.
Zarathustra laid the path.
Cyrus walked in it.
Jesus revealed it again.
Now, we remember.
