Notes
"According to the tradition Zoroaster was thirty, the time of ripe wisdom, when revelation finally came to him....It is said that Zoroaster being at a gathering met to celebrate a spring festival, went at dawn to a river to fetch water for the haoma-ceremony. He waded in to draw fro midstream; and when he returned to the bank - himself in a state of ritual purity, emerging from the pure element, water, in the freshness of spring dawn - he had a vision."[1]
Zoroaster had several more Connection Experiences, in which he received truths from a Heptad of beings (Vohu Manah, Ahura Mazda and "five other radiant figures.")
