Appendix IV

"Scholars' Unawareness Of Jupiterian Culture

We often find scholars in their utter innocence of true knowledge of the culture of the Jupiterian age of over 12,000 years prior to the Christian era labouring under an erroneous impression that modern civilization and culture are the only most advanced of all ages, and that the ancient times were barbarous or far backward.

Consequently, it amuses one to read Dr. Geiger agreeing with Dr. Rapp when he observes as follows: (Geiger- Sanjana. Civilization of Eastern Iranians Vol. II, p. 176):

"Dr. Rapp has justly remarked that the accounts which place the age of Zoroaster about 6000 years back, are of little importance since it is incredible that at that Time chronicles could have been available which safely followed up the history of the past five or six thousand years."

Little did the illustrious savants know about the culture of those distant ages, totally unaware, as they were, like all their modern brethren that the ancient Iranian sages possessed, what may be called, the 'horoscope' of the earth. This 'horoscope' is the veritable 'Mirror of all Ages', from Deluge to Deluge_ called 'Tawil-i-Zarvane-daregha-khadat', meaning literally, the commentary on the self-created long (cycle of) Time. According to Khshnoom, this long Time is of 81,000 Solar years duration, the millenniums and subordinate Cycles of which they worked out by the science of 'Shumar-i-Falak', the calculations of the heavens, already explained.

As stated there this material world is but a pawn of the planetary luminous orbs, and each of the seven planets by turn has its sovereignty in the heavens for thousands of years ranging between 17,000 and 4,000 years, during which our known wicked material world ('Drujo-deman') experiences different types of civilizations and cultures as varied in their characteristics as does the calour blue or green differ from red. Thus the current sovereignty is of Mars of 17,000 years, which commenced practically with the beginning of the Christian, era, and iron (or steel) is the special metal of that planet. Consequently, iron plays the most important part in all walks of life, in peace as in war, and we are living in the Machine Age.

Diversely, the last sovereignty of Jupiter (of aver 12,000 years) was characterized by the high development of mystic arts and sciences like reading vibrationary colours as easily as the alphabet; going into spiritual trance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, geomancy, chiromancy, alchemy, highly advanced astronomy and astrology, "Jamaspy" and "Ilm-i-Zafar", the science concerning the knowledge of all the seven Ages from past of all dead past to futurity lost in dim future (Ghaiban)" Shumar-iFalak, the reckonings of the heavens, the Zoroastrian mystic Numerology, the science of efficient formulae, amulets, periapts, 'Ilm-i-Staota', the science of vibratianary colours employed in Avesta in which our Master said_ transposition (called ‘Taksiriat’) of letters or words unveils the lucid reading of an obscure passage revealing the secret true import in any text, thereby eliminating the need for guess-work and at times horribly absurd interpretations, and so on.

In "Desatir" and "Dabistan" we find mention of several holy kings who could commune with the Creator direct, and even in Pahlavi Dinkard Vol. VII; 1,8 conference with the Creator not only by the Prophet himself but also by king "after Gayomard, at different periods" has been mentioned as under:

"After Gayomard at different periods until Zarathushtra of the Revered-fravahar, (the descendant) of the Spitamas all who were favoured with it (i.e., the Revelatian) attained to so much acquaintance with learning, and to the activity (necessary) for the salvation of the men of the time (that) thereby they came into publicity, and became worthy - what through the conference with the Creator, and what through the soul's higher elevation which (is) sublime according to the Creator's commandments that are declared by God in the Good Religion of the combined titles of prophet, acceptor and promoter..."

(Dastur Darab Sanjana Vol.XIII, Intro.8).

We are aware of the exploits by Arda Viraf and Azer Kaiwan of Iran, both of whom, at different periods scoured through the Space by temporarily liberating the soul from the physical body like the removal of a garment, yet maintaining connection with the body through a thin blue etheric line.

A different method of drawing knowledge whether of the earth or worlds above was through the preparation of a talismanic book called "Jam-i- Jehanuma", referred to' by Firdausi in his epic of "Shah Nameh" as 'Giti Numaye' the revealer of the world. By the operation of this sacred book clues to problems defying comprehension could be found, and methods of learning forgotten sciences and arts could be ascertained; or things lost or stolen or secreted in any of the strata of the earth or located in regions above could be detected. Thus Firdousi relates how mighty paladin Bizan was missing in Iran since a year, and how king Kae Khushro (about 8000 B.c.) by operating Giti-Numaye located Bizan lying heavily fettered in a deep cell in the enemy's country, and arranged for his release by a stratagem.

Among other sciences of the Jupiterian ages were geomancy, chiromancy, efficient formulae, amulets, periapts, numerology, astronomy (without the aid of observatories), astrolagy, determining the starry spaces, measuring the 'interstellar depths and distances', talismanically hiding from world's knowledge holy men and sacred articles etc. Besides these, the holy Magi could read Fshusho Manthra vibrationary colours like alphabets which is already shown in Chapter III under the head 'Magi Could Read Fshusho Manthra Virbratianary Colours Like Alphabets'.

Thus it will be understood the Jupiterian civilization and culture of the distant ages were characterized by the development of spiritual powers, which no scholar or scientist of the present material civilization under Mars has attained or can ever hope to attain.

 

Jupiterian Mystic Arts And Sciences

With respect to the Jupiterian mystic arts and sciences, we are aware of the reference to the "incantations and the mystic arts of the Ghaldeans" in the battle between king Zarathushtra and Ninus quoted in Geiger-Sanjana "Eastern Iranians" (ibid. 'footnote" pp. 180-181). Then we know the instance in Shah Nameh of the fort of Bahmandez sealed off by the talisman of sorcery and the approach to it (fort) made inaccessible by the surrounding ground rendered unbearably hot. This caused the armours of the paladins, Tus and Fariborz too scorching, and they had to return disappointed, for no entrance could be found. On learning their predicament, king Kae Khushrow sets out himself, with his warriors and a large army towards Bahmandez. 'He then causes a scribe to write an epistle in Pahlavi, in which he first extols the Almighty God and then addresses the wicked sorcerer of Bahmandez to beware of the Omnipotent Lord.

He (king) declares that

"If the fort is the stronghold of Ahriman, who is the enemy of God, 'I will smash the fiend's head to the ground from on high; and since it is the camp of sorcerers, I need no army, because when I twist my noose I fetter their heads".

He then got the epistle to be tied on the top of a mace, and ordered paladin Gev to bear it to the fort and implant it in its wall with the name of God and to return immediately. Gev did as he was bid. Hardly had he turned his horse back when the epistle disappeared and the wall of the fort burst violently, whereupon the demons were exposed and killed by the archery-fire from Kae Khushrow's army.

It maybe well to explain here that, the king acted ,as the divine agent for smiting the demons, for, which he drew his potentiality from the "Kavaem Khareno", the 'kingly Glory', which originated from Ahura Mazda (Yt, 19,9 & 74) mentioned by Fardousi as Farreh-(Izadi). Actually speaking, the former is of higher grade possessed only by the kings, while the latter is next in grade, which was possessed by many Pishdadian and Kayanian warrior-saints.

Thus king Kae Khushrow had Divine potentiality that was conducted to that holy epistle. Consequently, every word of that epistle was a holy spell, and served as a terrific bomb, while every twist of the noose in the King's hand acted like a guided missile, the only difference between such ancient and the modern missile weapons being that the former were spiritual, characteristic of the Jupiterian culture, while the latter are the productions of the modern material science belonging to the Martian material culture.

With respect to the mystic twisting, the writer remembers having seen a person writhing with acute pain from a scorpion sting on his forefinger when the occult healer, though of considerably lower grade, was seen giving twists to a piece of cloth while muttering the formula and thus effecting the cure.

 

"Jam-i- Jehanuma" the Mystic Telescope of the World

Then there is the other reference also in Shah Nameh of the "Jam-i-Giti-numaye" or "Jam-i-Jehanuma", the veritable telescope and X-ray combined penetrating the whole world, through which Jam (sacred mystic book) the glorified king Kae Khushrow (Yt. 19,74) as stated already spotted warrior saint Bizan in great distress in a deep cell in the Kargsar province of Turan.

Fully did our Master know the immaculate science of this "Jam-i-Jehanuma' but he carried its knowledge with himself, because, as he said, the modern Time was unsuitable for imparting it, and people did not possess the requisite mental equipment (maddo). The modern intelligentsia, he said, is advanced intellectually, but not spiritually." Consequently, even if one learns it, the natural circumstances of the modem age will not permit him to make use of it. Yet, says the learned doctor^[1], he (Master) has shown some glimpses of that wonderful science of the Jupiterian Age.

Every millennium of a planet, i.e., major Time cycle (ranging between, 4000 and 17,000 years each) is characterized by its own distinctive charm, and every Age presents countless facets. Father Time is the Juggler of jugglers, having at his source the seven colours (Haft-rang) related to the seven planets, and he (Time) resides in 'Zarvane-daregho-khadat', self-created long cycles of Time of 81,000 'years each, 'Thwasha_khadata' self created Time cycles by planetary conjunctions at birth of a human child causing repetitions of birth and death, and 'Zarvana akarana', the Boundless Time. If one Age shines in materialism, another is dazzling with mysticism. The present materialistic Machine Age reveals knowledge of varied types, yet the machines being gross in character have their limitations; though they may baffle us with amazement. However, this is only one instance of the display of potentiality of the Time-factor.

In ancient times prior to some 2000 B.c. when there were no machines, the holy Magi doctors of those distant ages, through the practice of strict exercises of piety and stoicism possessed the potentiality of making amazing experiments through the souls of the spirit worlds, and could imbibe knowledge through the inconceivable agencies of the ethereal subtle elements, and through the divine machinery of noumena of the Evanescent worlds above.

With such knowledge of Nature's laws and the employment of its invisible machinery they could formulate sciences such as of 'Shumar-i-Falak', calculations of the heavens, as we have seen already, and could prepare mystic devices like 'Jam-i-Jehanuma', about which modern scholars and scientists are entirely in the dark. By such means they could peep into the noumena of the hoary past, and predict the future not only of this world, but of the spirit worlds and whole of the Evanescent worlds (the Space) above.

These evanescent worlds comprise the inconceivably huge expanses of practically the entire seven Dakhyus, planes under Mihir Yazad, where Time and Space are in subtlety. Moreover, things lost or stolen, or buried or secreted in any of the seven strata of the earth could be detected by this Jam. Clues to decisions on problems defying comprehension could be found, and methods of learning sciences and arts could be known. Many ancient Iranian holy sages of the Kayanian ages had mastery over such mystic sciences as the preparation of the Jam-i- Jehanuma, among whom king Kae Khushrow ranked foremost, as we have seen already from the Shah Nameh.

 

Jam, A Scientific Mystic Device

Jam-i- Jam was a lofty talismanic science, which had close relation with the motions of the planets and the Zoroastrian mystic science of Numbers. In its essence this Jam is a talismanic device, comprising chapters, pages, lines, tables, and letters and symbols, all of certain numbers and arranged technically from which an occult sage of that science could obtain results by mathematical computations. Such a Jam (holy book or device) may be said to be possessed of consciousness since it used to be under the protection of angelic existences and had its own glory, just as an Atash Behram possesses consciousness and its altar bears connection with Sarosh Yazat, and has its own glory. Consequently, such a sanctum sanctorum used to be deposited in a holy repository and great was the care exercised to preserve its sanctity, and save it from defilement.

(Even in Bombay in olden times, in the case of certain Atash Behrams, no one could step into the ante-chamber to the fire-altar without going through the purificatory bath in the very compound of the Atash-Behram.)

Such Jam could be operated with advantage only on (day) Hormuzd or Khordad of the Farvardin month, which only were said to be auspicious for the purpose. Highly elaborate was its preparation, and after a certain period it had to be cancelled. In fine, the reckonings of this Jam were based on the mysterious numerology of the four elements and the mathematics of the same.

 

The Jam of Ilm-i-Zafar, the Sublimest Mystic Device

The Jam of Ilm-i-Zafar is a device sublimer in character and efficiency than the Jam-i- Jehanuma, being an improvement and expansion upon the latter effected by the holy Prophet. Its real name is Jam-i-Zarathushtra, but was called Ilm-i-Zafar, the victorious science, by the Arabs. While, as said above, the Jami- Jehanuma could give knowledge of the three Ages, viz., past, present and future, the Jam of Ilm-i-Zafar can reveal the knowledge of the luminous, immortal nine heavens existing above the Evanescent world mentioned above, and of the seven Ages from past of all past to future of all future.

Thus Ilm-i-Zafar can give an inkling or clue to whatever great upheavals may have occurred or whatever knowledge or object may have existed or may have been secreted or buried during the hoary past, or whatever phenomena or noumena are destined to take place in the millenniums to come or in inconceivable futurity - all these can be revealed by the mystic science of Ilm-i-Zafar by a Zoroastrian holy adept. Moreover, just as certain physical ailments and diseases can be cured by the therapy of rays, so Ilm-i-Zafar has the power of giving immunity from the spiritual diseases of lust etc. to a person sitting within the field of the Jam.

 

Concept of Ilm-I-Zafar

This prophetic Jam of Ilm-i-Zafar was a talismanic device. It had 27 chapters; each chapter had 27 pages; each page had 27 lines; each line had 27 tables; and each table contained four letters. If the question related to the immortal luminous worlds or beyond or to Sarv-i-Keshmar explained above, the preparation of its Jam could be undertaken only by very holy Zoroastrian occult sages and required years of preparatory practice of the strict exercises of Sarv-i-Keshmar over and above the observance of the normal, though strict, purificatory Baj-rites.

However for unriddling some mystery of a material nature and relating to any of the three Ages of past, present or future, the Jam for the same could be prepared by worldly men of Hutokhsh grade. Those human beings who by their deportment and conduct of life keep themselves on the right path (Rathvya patha} and control the passions are called Hutokhsha. So the solemnity of the knowledge or the solution sought for was first determined as to whether it was of a material nature or of some recondite spiritual type. When the question concerned, say, the finding of a lost key to some worldly knowledge or of something interred, the Jam for such purposes had 27 chapters and was considered of an ordinary type.

 

Method of Compilation of the Jam

An extremely faint idea is given by Dr. F. S. Chiniwala of the method of compilation of such wonder of a Jam of the simplest and the commonest type - one pertaining to the current period and of an ordinary subject. The learned doctor puts a note here that what he has delineated represents even less than the faintest of the faint idea of what the Master described. This writer is unable to translate adequately what the doctor has written in Gujarati because it is too technical and incomprehensible in character. However, only a few points have been attempted here.'

Fundamentally, every consonant and vowel of the alphabet is affiliated to a particular element – fire or air or water or earth. So the letters forming the question concerned are put down in a line in terms of the four elements. Then the elements representing the letters concerned are set forth in accordance with their Muwafikat, or Mukhalafat or Miyanah, i.e. agreeability, opposition or neutrality respectively. After this there is some system of arranging the letters and pages by the method of Tahta Fauka, (belowabove), according to their concordance_opposition or neutrality. Then they are rendered 'pure (Khalis). What this means is not understood, says the doctor. But it is stated that by these methods the 'letters, i.e., their elements get rearranged, in effecting which some letters get cancelled, some are separated, some are duplicated and some are joined together.

In this way the sense of the original line bearing the question or enquiry gets entirely altered by degrees. Then by certain rule these lines are arranged in tables of four letters each: such newly formed lines, then form pages. Then the pages form something like chapters. Then they are rendered Malfuzi, which term is not clearly understood, but all these arrangements result in a new spelling. Then by the rule of what is called Masruri, some entirely new words are created. By such formation, again and again the pages are formed and then the chapters.

^[2]

Then by the method of Maktubi, it is said, the letters become subject to rules of syntax. But again they get re-arranged. Then they are passed through the devices of 28 tables, i.e., the tables are applied to the above last arrangement. Some of the names of these tables are: Daireh-i-Jeed; - sajar; umuk; ,- abdah; ---hutamafs, etc., etc. After all this the result is passed through Sadar-o-Mukhkhar possibly something like permutation and combination.

 

 

Then comes the last Daireh-i-Surkhab, which is a mysterious thing. By what is called Mustascla, verification, the accuracy is tested. The most astonishing part of the whole is the answer to the original question or enquiry. The tables mentioned above give the answer in anyone of the four languages; viz., Turkish, Persian, Arabic or Sanskrit. But, says Dr. Chiniwalla, that the Master used to say that there is another science called Staota Yasna, in which there is commentary of everything concerning immortal and the evanescent worlds and there are rules of this science.

If a holy sage of that science is very highly advanced, he can obtain the answer in other languages also, for which, he goes into spiritual trance and verifies the result, i.e., the answer, mathematically by the power of his higher spiritual intellect – Akl-i-Mustafad-i-ulvi. It is further stated that when an enquiry pertains to very recondite spiritual matter or to past of all past or future of all future, the answer works-out in the Kyan language from which Pahlavi also is derived Such is some extremely hazy idea of Jam-j-Jam of Jam-IJahanuma and Jam-i-Zafar narrated 'parrotwise' says Dr. Chiniwalla.

It matters little whether or not this teratology (science of miracles) of the ancient Jupiterian mystic sciences and arts is given credence to, or treated as some Babylonian or Assyrian fiction or Talmudic productioin. The fact that it bears King Jamshed's name proves its antiquity and its Mazdayasni Iranian origin though there may be references to it elsewhere. But ancient Iran possessed such marvelous things, which came down from Age to Age till the Arabs got it at last. And that is why, it will be understood the Arabs named it Ilm-I-Zafar.

During the long stretch of thousands of years (some 9000 from today) since the Zoroastrian religion was revealed, whenever devotion to the Faith was shaken, or degeneration or chaos set in in its observance through the overthrow of Zoroastrian sovereignty, or whenever the religion was in a state of deterioration during the transition period pending the descending to this earth of a Raenidar (resuscitator of the Faith), when doubts and difficulties arose with respect to any branch of the religion, a Zoroastrian holy sage could find from the Ilm-i-Zafar the key to the solution or to the knowledge sought for. In this way the secrets of the seven ages from eternity of the past to infinity of the future could be known from this Jam of Ilm-i-Zafar. From the above it will be understood that the belief in the modem material learning and culture to be the only most advanced is a delusion, the result of absence of knowledge of distant ages.

Thus (a) fire and air, and (b) water and earth are in concord, since air supports fire and soil needs water; but fire and water are in opposition since water extinguishes fire or fire evaporates water whichever is overpowering. Again (a) fire and earth, (b) air and water, are neutral.
