Re: To Maggie, Thank you -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beth Suryoyo Assyrian (Othuroyo) Forum -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by A Dear Assyrian ;) on 16 Jul 2005 06:55:27: As an answer to: To Maggie written by Stone Age Computer User on 15 Jul 2005 23:39:06: >I saw your link to your TV show, but I don't have satelite TV nor do I have a high speed computer connection. Anyway, could you post transcripts from your past shows, for I would like to learn more about the Assyrian God pantheon you mention you previously taught and talked about on your show. >Thank you. "Thank you for the reply Maggie. I enjoyed reading that. Please post more for we could learn a lot about comparitive religion and mythology relating to ancient Assyrians from you. It would be refreshing to have more on that rather than the rest of the bickering on these forums. Please bring more to light and teach us more about our mythology and help us to connect to our ancestors religions and myths." It was my pleasure. "I appreciate it and many others will too and it may give the younger people reading inspiration to learn more about Assyrian mythology, religion and accomplishments. I hope you don't mind my posting it here... if you do then just note not to in the next posts you make... I hope you post more information on the Assyrian pantheon, mysticism, etc.." I don't mind you posting it on your forum, so long as you think of your forum as an Assyrian space, by which all Assyrians are free to express themselves as they choose to and no one gets deleted into oblivion. "Tree of life and Kabalah information would be of interest. And I would think, given the fad for Jewish Kabalah, maybe you are the lady to start a fad for Assyrian Kabalah. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and insights on ancient Assyria with us." So long as we remember that the Jewish Kabala was formulated on the concept of the Assyrian Tree of Life. We need to make that clear to everyone, not just Assyrians. "I would love to hear your thoughts on if and how you feel those concepts are still with us in our current religions." Judeo-Christianity and Islam are based on the Assyrian religion. For example, the god ASHUR in all the Assyrian reliefs emerges as essentially the hebrew god Yahwe, the Christian God, Alaha, and the Muslim God, Allah, the "merciful and the compassionate". Some of the Assyrian reliefs show the king wearing a ribboned high tiara, sacredotal garments and hand raised in blessing, which is essentially the same as the pope, the patriarch, god's representative upon earth. After the collapse of the Assyrian empire, it's culture and ideological structures were successively inherited and taken over by the Median, Achaemenid, and Hellenistic empires, Rome, Byzantium, the Sasanids, and the Caliphs. As late as the eleventh century AD the Caliphs of Baghdad still bore the Assyrian titles, representative of god, (Khalif Allah) and perfect man, (insan kamil) while in the West the office of god's earthly representative passed from the emperor to the pope. In the Achaemenid empire, the winged disk as the symbol of the almighty God was transferred to the Persian god Ahura Mazda. Note if you will, ther's only one letter differentiates Ashura from Ahura. In early Christian art the cross is frequently depicted in the form of the Tree of Life. The roots of Christianity have been sought in Judaism, Zoarastrianism, and Greek philosophy, yet many of it's central doctrines are already found in Assyrian religion, which influenced the Near East for centuries and was much alive in Syria-Palestine long after Christ. the same applies to Neoplatonic philosophy , whose ultimate source of inspiration was not the writings of Plato or Aristotle, but Chaldean Oracles of Julian the Theurgist, (a Chaldean advisor) of Marcus Aurelias " I don't know if you believe in it as more than mythology but as religion as our ancestors did, and I would like to hear more on your thoughts on that in the modern world. I have been looking for a long time for someone to post on these topics. People throw around the name Ashur but you are the first to give ideas with your own unique way on it. Thanks again." The word "mythology" is a safe and poiltically correct term for religion. The words are interchangeable, depending on whether they are being used by a religious person, which would use the term religion, or by an atheist describing the term "religion". --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
