[Mythology (2)] The Rebellion Against the Creator—A Turning Point in Mythological History?

The Sinking of the Continent of Pan and the Great Flood 24,000 Years Ago

The First Humans and Angels on Earth: The Myth of the Asu and the I’hins

According to OAHSPE, the first humans born on Earth were called the Asu. In the beginning, they were not even capable of standing upright. To guide them, the Creator, Jehovih, summoned angels from outer space and instructed them to assist the Asu.
These angels were beings who had lost their original planets and had been drifting through space. Grateful for the chance to live on Earth again, many of them descended and took on the task of guiding the Asu.
The angels used a substance known as semu, which was abundant on Earth at the time, to form human-like bodies. They inhabited these bodies and lived among the Asu, offering direct guidance.
Before their descent, Jehovih warned them not to partake of the “Tree of Life.” The bodies formed from semu were like puppets—incapable of reproduction. However, it was believed that eating from the Tree of Life would grant reproductive ability.
In Earth’s early days, still a fiery planet, it was showered with vast amounts of semu from space. Yet this alone could not give rise to life. Only through the medium of the Tree of Life did reproduction become possible. Today, semu has greatly diminished and is said to be nearly extinct, making the emergence of new races highly unlikely.

The Union of Angels and Asu— and the Birth of the I’hins

With semu once plentiful, the angels lived among the Asu in borrowed human forms. However, breaking the Creator’s commandment, some angels ate from the Tree of Life and gained reproductive power. As a result, they mated with the Asu and bore children.
Jehovih had forbidden this out of concern that the angels would grow emotionally attached to Earth and refuse to return to the heavens. As feared, the angels developed deep love for their children and could no longer leave.
In response, Jehovih imposed a punishment: they were to raise their children for six generations. Yet this was also a compassionate punishment. The offspring born from this union were called the I’hins—beings with high spiritual capacity.

Decline of Spirituality and the Rise of the I’huans

Though beloved by the gods, the I’hins had little interest in physical reproduction and were hesitant to bear children. As a result, a new race—the I’huans—emerged from the union of I’hins and Asu, and they became the dominant race on Earth.
Eventually, the Asu perished, and the I’huans built civilizations. However, lacking spiritual awareness, they could no longer hear the voices of the gods. They began to believe themselves to be the rulers of Earth and grew arrogant. Their lives became consumed by greed, conflict, and moral decline.

The Shadow of Drujas and the Spiritual Fall

Souls of the dead who remained attached to earthly life became known as drujas. These dark spirits possessed the living, whispering wicked thoughts and encouraging evil actions. Even good people could fall under their influence and descend into darkness.
While the existence of evil might make goodness more distinct, a world where evil takes center stage defies the will of the Creator.

The Continent of Pan and the Great Flood—The Birth of Myth

Around 24,000 years ago, the Earth was overrun by dark spirits, beyond even the gods’ control. In response, the Creator, through the archangel Aph and the god Neph, gathered these dark spirits onto the continent of Pan. The entire continent was then submerged, eradicating the corruption in one sweep.
This event would later be remembered as the “Great Flood,” forming the archetype of flood myths and marking the mythological beginning of humanity around 22,000 BCE.

The Fall of the Gods and the Birth of the Saint Zarathustra

After the sinking of the continent of Pan, humanity regained its innate goodness, and peace once again returned to the Earth. Many virtuous spirits were born, and numerous high-ranking souls were offered up to the upper heavens as “brides and bridegrooms” of the Creator, Jehovih.

However, as human civilization flourished, the gods themselves began to fall into corruption. Many sought to hoard earthly riches and descended into darkness. These beings came to be known as “false Gods” and “false Lords.”

Fortunately, their influence remained confined to their own realms and did not spread across the entire Earth. When an archangel descended during a new dan cycle, many of these false gods were cast out.

Still, wherever such false gods appeared, they attracted corrupt human spirits, which in turn caused unrest on Earth. Most people at the time were I’huans, who could no longer hear the voice of God. Yet unless they were guided by divine teachings, chaos would erupt each time a false god emerged.

The Birth Plan of Zarathustra and the Guidance of God I’hua’Mazda

To lead the I’huans, the god I’hua’Mazda devised a long-term plan to bring forth a saint. Over many generations, I’hin spirits were joined in marriage with I’huans, and their descendants were again married with I’hin spirits—repeating the cycle until a lineage of spiritually noble and virtuous children was established.

Thus was born Zarathustra, the saint. From infancy, I’hua’Mazda watched over him, spoke to him, and personally guided his spiritual education.

Zarathustra’s mother, Toche, claimed she had conceived him as a virgin. Because of this, suspicion surrounded them. Rumors eventually reached the king of Oas, the greatest city in Persia at the time, and both mother and child were targeted for death. They fled and found refuge among the Ristians.

The Audience with the King and the Birth of the First Scripture

When Zarathustra came of age, he followed divine guidance and returned to Oas—the city where his life had once been threatened. By then, a new king had taken the throne: King Asher. The king listened to Zarathustra’s words, even communed with I’hua’Mazda, and came to believe in his teachings.

Later, Zarathustra and I’hua’Mazda returned to the Ristian community, where they spent more than a decade compiling what would become the first holy scripture of humanity.

King Asher publicly proclaimed the scripture throughout his realm and eventually abdicated the throne to become Zarathustra’s disciple. Though already an elderly man, he studied under Zarathustra, who was then in his late thirties.

Persecution, Martyrdom, and the Legacy of His Teachings

Zarathustra traveled far and wide, spreading divine teachings. While he gained many followers, rulers across the land began to see him as a threat. Assassins were sent after him numerous times, but he was protected by I’hua’Mazda and the attending angels, and his life was preserved.

After completing his mission, Zarathustra returned once again to Oas. But the ruling king at the time, Poniah, saw him as a criminal and ordered his execution. The public was outraged by this act of cruelty, and King Poniah was eventually killed in the riots that followed.

Zarathustra’s teachings lived on through his disciples—most notably Asher, who had become both his student and friend. In time, the teachings evolved into what came to be known as Zoroastrianism, spreading across the world.

7700 BCE — The Second Turning Point in Mythological History

The period around 7700 BCE, when the world’s first scripture was compiled, is regarded as the second major turning point in mythological history. From this era onward, it is said that the human spirit entered a new phase of accelerated development.

The Third Turning Point in Mythological History: The Rebellion Against the Creator

The Connection Between the Spirit World and the Physical World—and the Gods Who Rebelled

In this universe, there are two realms: the heavenly world, where spirit beings dwell, and the Earth, where humans live in physical bodies. Events and changes that occur in the heavens often influence life on Earth in subtle yet meaningful ways.

The spirit world is divided into two tiers. One is the lower heaven, which belongs to the Earth. The other is the upper heaven, which is part of Nirvana.

However, many spirit beings born on Earth were unaware of the existence of the upper heaven or Nirvana. In much the same way that humans on Earth have difficulty accepting the idea that intelligent life might exist on other planets in outer space, spirits in the lower heaven often could not perceive the higher realms beyond their own.

In other words, not only humans, but also spirit beings tied to Earth tended to reject the idea that other worlds exist beyond the boundaries of their own.

Even so, there were gods who believed in the Creator and followed divine teachings. Yet the real turning point came when one among them, despite acknowledging the Creator’s existence, began to question those teachings—and eventually led a rebellion.

This rebellion would later be recognized as a pivotal event in mythological history, now referred to as the Third Turning Point.
