	Zoroastrianism: The Forgotten Source
		Zarathustra claimed special divine revelation and had attempted to establish the worship of one supreme God (Ahura Mazda) in the 7th century B. C., but after his death, the earlier Aryan polytheism reemerged.
		Zarathustra, however, had preached the bodily resurrection of the dead, who would face a last judgment (both individual and general) to determine their ultimate fate in the next life: either Paradise or torment.
		Zarathustra predicted the imminent arrival of a World Savior (Saoshyant), who would be born of a virgin and who would lead humanity in the final battle against Evil.

		Zarathustra returns to his cave, where he hears once more the cry of distress that he thought came from the higher man. Entering his cave, he realizes it has come collectively from all those whom he encountered during the day.
		Zarathustra steps outside again and is pleased that his companions and he have chased away the spirit of gravity.
		Zarathustra rises the next morning and finds a lion outside his cave, which he takes to be a sign that the overman is coming.

		Neither is Zarathustra indignant at a convalescent who looketh tenderly on his delusions, and at midnight stealeth round the grave of his God; but sickness and a sick frame remain even in his tears.
		Zarathustra thereupon laid hold of the tree beside which the youth sat, and spake thus: "If I wished to shake this tree with my hands, I should not be able to do so.
		When Zarathustra once told this to his disciples they asked him: "And what, O Zarathustra, is the moral of thy story?" And Zarathustra answered them thus: The destroyer of morality, the good and just call me: my story is immoral.

	Nietzsche's Zarathustra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Zarathustra's most basic contention is the sweeping rejection of all metaphysics--of the idea that there is a "real" world "behind" the physical world, a transcendent world beyond the world of the senses.
		Zarathustra gets the dwarf off his back by confronting him and himself with the thought that he had been so reluctant to think, but which seemed to have been on his mind for some time--the thought of the eternal recurrence of everything.
		Zarathustra's profound disgust with the prospect of the eternal recurrence of low forms of humanity finds expression in his vision of a young shepherd who is gagging on a fl serpent that has crawled into his throat.

	Zoroaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the nineteenth century, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche used the name of Zarathustra in his seminal book Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra).
		Nietzsche fictionalizes and dramatizes Zarathustra toward his own literary and philosophical aims, presenting him as a returning visionary who repudiates the designation of good and evil and thus marks the observation of the death of God.
		Nietzsche asserted that he had chosen to put his ideas into the mouth of Zarathustra because the historical prophet had been the first to proclaim the opposition between "good" and "evil", by rejecting the Daeva (representing natural forces) in favor of a moral order represented by the Ahuras.

	Zarathustra

	zarathustra
		Zarathustra, never ordered his followers to perform certain activities, but he recommended them to try to know the creator of the earth and heaven and adopt good manner, on the basis of their wisdom.
		Therefore, Zarathustra was neither a prophet, nor we can call his spiritual path a “religion,” rather he was a thoughtful benevolent who recognized his God on the basis of his wisdom and never said he had been missioned to bring any message from God to human beings.
		In Zarathustra’s philosophy, everybody has the liberty to choose the right way, out of his/her good reflection and since human wisdom is more related to good reflection, thus the followers of Zoroastrianism should precede by each other to the propagation of science and education.

		According to Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the meaning of human existence is to make room for the “Superman”: a superhuman who perseveres in its capacity for unlimited self-creation.
		Zarathustra is not ready because he has yet to properly understand and accept his relationship to the past.
		Upon awakening from his sleep, Zarathustra relays the contents of his disturbing dream which illustrates exactly how deep-seated his struggle to simultaneously affirm and overcome his past really is. He begins by seeing himself as a night-watchman of corpses and coffins.

	Chapter The Shadow of Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
		But Zarathustra did not wait; for a sudden irritation came over him on account of the crowd and the crowding in his mountains.
		Thus spake Zarathustra, and laughing with eyes and entrails he stood still and turned round quickly — and behold, he almost thereby threw his shadow and follower to the ground, so closely had the latter followed at his heels, and so weak was he.
		For when Zarathustra scrutinised him with his glance he was frightened as by a sudden apparition, so slender, swarthy, hollow and worn-out did this follower appear.

	Zarathustra and Hystaspes
		Zarathustra departed alone, at the counsel and command of Ahuramazda, to the court of Hystaspes and the ordeal of that terrible contest [between him and his opponents].
		[...] And lo, through the strength of Zarathustra, who, alone fought a terrible battle against evil, a great miracle was manifest to king Hystaspes and his retainers, when they found him alive and full of glory, despite hardship and fetters and other afflictions and prolonged starvation.
		Zarathustra then works miracles from his prison, among them a cure of Hystaspes' favorite war horse.

		PEOPLE commended unto Zarathustra a wise man, as one who could discourse well about sleep and virtue: greatly was he honoured and rewarded for it, and all the youths sat before his chair.
		Verily, my brother, said Zarathustra, it is a treasure that hath been given me: it is a little truth which I carry.
		AFTER this Zarathustra returned again into the mountains to the solitude of his cave, and withdrew himself from men, waiting like a sower who hath scattered his seed.

		Also Sprach Zarathustra and Death and Transfiguration are, in my opinion, the most beautiful of Strauss' tone poems.
		Zarathustra is probably the best known of the Strauss tone poems because its opening bars were used in the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey.
		But there is much more to Zarathustra than its glorious opening bars; it is a masterpiece from beginning to end.

	Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra and other Tone Poems conducted by Herbert von Karajan
		Herbert von Karajan is acknowledged as one of the foremost interpreters of the music of composer Richard Strauss, which may be why his recording of the opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra was used in the opening of "2001: A Space Odyssey".
		Instead we want to describe the actual works performed so as to introduce anyone relatively new to the music of Richard Strauss who might otherwise hestitate before listening.
		Firstly "Also Sprach Zarathustra" which is the longest work on these albums.

		Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is often referred to as one of the most influential works of our century, which he wrote in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
		Individuality, and the constant question and resistance to organized institutions is what I like to take from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" as Zarathustra walks along the mountains, trails, hills, and towns, in his quest to think for himself and tell others of his thoughts.
		The style is direct and the many exclamation points give Nietzsche's points a "shout!" Nietzsche notes the importance of individuality and the dangers of becoming one of the lemming-like sheep that follow the herd, whether it be nationalism, religious zealotry, or the unquestioning acceptance of basic societal norms.

		No "Also Sprach Zarathustra" on this planet exceeds the excitement, playing and passion Karajan coaxes from his Berlin Philharmonic circa 1974, the same year the Horn Concerto 2 was recorded.
