Dear friends

My views are:




Avesta Manthravani - Science of Vibrations and Colours - 22. sept. 2009

.......
"As we all know, since times immemorial, colour therapy has been used for curing various illnesses! Just as sound can create, destroy or heal, so can light. It is reported that the Greek sage Pythagoras learned the mysteries of healing under the Magi of Persia. He often used colour therapy to cure diseases. Likewise, even in ayurveda, different organs of the body are ascribed different colours, under the domain of different planetary influences."
.......
"Sometime in 1100 AD, a Jewish Rabbi named Judah and his disciples developed a theory on the mystical harmony of words in the Holy  Scriptures. Later, the theory became popular and was even published  in a book entitled STUDIES IN JEWISH MYSTICISM (Association for  Jewish Studies, 1982, p. 91) authored by Joseph Dan. Following is a quote from the book which explains the theory:
" .the words and letters of the various prayers are not accidental,  nor are they only vehicles for their literal meaning. Their order, especially their numbers, reflect a mystical harmony, a sacred divine rhythm. This mystical harmony can be discovered in historical events, directed by God; in nature, especially in the miraculous occurrences directly influenced by divine powers; and first and foremost, in the Bible. According to Rabbi Judah and the Ashkenazi Hasidic school in  general, there can be nothing accidental in the Bible, not even the  forms of letters, the punctuation, the vocalization, and especially- in the numerical structures-the number of certain letters, consonants  or vowels in a certain verse; the number of words from the same root; the number and variety of divine names in a certain periscope, the  absence of one or more letters from a chapter, and many other  elements of the Scriptures besides their content.""
.......
"After nearly ten centuries of what Rabbi Judah stated regarding these elements of scriptural codes, the present day computers have demonstrated and confirmed each one of them. The divinely instituted liturgies, in their original unaltered words, are so numerically perfect that they can be compared to the combination of a locked  safe; we need to dial that specific combination to establish contact with our creator.

Many international scholars, from various religious backgrounds, have  reported this unique phenomenon of numerically perfect religious  literature in other Holy Scriptures as well. The Quran, which was revealed in A.D. 610-630, is another scripture that is known to still  exist in its original language and form and known to have mathematical coding throughout. To quote a Muslim scientist and  computer expert named Rashad Khalifa, "All the parameters of the  Quran--the numbers and sequences of chapters; the number of verses;  the numbers assigned to each verse; the number of words; the number  of certain specified letters; the number of words from the same root;  the number and variety of divine names; the absence of one or more  letters from a word, verse or chapter; the unique and often strange  spellings of certain crucial words; and many other elements-- are  all authenticated by its mathematical code"."
.......
"According to some scholars, Avesta is not a spoken language: it is a manthravani of the developed souls which carries a  special arrangement of syllables to cause certain vibrations and  colours thereby producing the desired results within the remitter  (the worshipper) and his environment."

Now we have H. P. Blavatsky saying the following on Zend-sar.... 

TS Glossary, 1892, Posthumously:
"Zend-Avesta (Pahl.). The general name for the sacred books of the Parsis, fire or sun worshippers, as they are ignorantly called. So little is understood of the grand doctrines which are still found in the various fragments that compose all that is now left of that collection of religious works, that Zoroastrianism is called indifferently Fire-worship, Mazdaism, or Magism, Dualism, Sun-worship, and what not. The Avesta has two parts as now collected together, the first portion containing the Vendîdâd, the Vispêrad and the Yasna; and the second portion, called the Khorda Avesta (Small Avesta), being composed of short prayers

p386

called Gâh, Nyâyish, etc. Zend means "a commentary or explanation", and Avesta (from the old Persian âbashtâ, "the law". (See Darmsteter.) As the translator of the Vendîdâd remarks in a foot note (see int. xxx.): "what it is customary to call 'the Zend language', ought to be named 'the Avesta language', the Zend being no language at all and if the word be used as the designation of one, it can be rightly applied only to the Pahlavi". But then, the Pahlavi itself is only the language into which certain original portions of the Avesta are translated. What name should be given to the old Avesta language, and particularly to the "special dialect, older than the general language of the Avesta" (Darmst.), in which the five Ghthas in the Yasna are written? To this day the Orientalists are mute upon the subject. Why should not the Zend be of the same family, if not identical with the Zen-sar, meaning also the speech explaining the abstract symbol, or the "mystery language," used by Initiates?"

H. P. Blavatsky wrote:
"That which we call Form (Rûpa) is not different from that which we call Space (Shûnyatâ) . . . Space is not different from Form. Form is the same as Space; Space is the same as Form. And so with the other Skandhas, whether Vedanâ, or Sanjña, or Sanskâra or Vijñana they are each the same as their opposite." (Book of Sin-king or the "Heart Sûtra." Chinese translation of the Mahâ-Prajñâ-Pâramitâ-Hridaya-Sûtra; chapter on the "Avalokiteshvara," or Manifested Buddha.)

So that, the Âryan and Tibetan or Arhat doctrines agree perfectly in substance, differing but in names given and the way of putting it, a distinction resulting from the fact that the Vedântin Brâhmans believe in Parabrahman, a deific power, impersonal though it may be, while the Buddhists entirely reject it."
.......
"Were our Orientalists to know more of them, and compare the ancient Babylonian Bel or Baal worship with the rites of the Bhons, they would find an undeniable connection between the two. It is out of the question to begin an argument here to prove the origin of the aborigines of Tibet as connected with one of the three great races which superseded each other in Babylonia, whether we call them the Akkadians (invented by F. Lenormant), or the primitive Turanians, Chaldees and Assyrians. Be it as it may, there is reason to call the Trans-Himâlayan esoteric doctrine Chaldæo-Tibetan. And, when we remember that the Vedas came-agreeably to all traditions-from the Mansarova Lake in Tibet, and the Brâhmans themselves from the far north, we are justified in looking on the esoteric doctrines of every people who once had or still have them, as having proceeded from one and the same source, and to thus call it the "Âryan-Chaldæo-Tibetan" doctrine, or Universal Wisdom Religion. "Seek for the Lost Word among the hierophants of Tartary, China and Tibet," was the advice of Swedenborg, the seer."

I thought, that it might be helpful, while we look at the Eternity, not forgetting the Boddhisatva vows and fall like a Pratekya Buddhist down into spiritual selfishness.
