Zarathustra (Avestan: Zaraθuštra; Greek: Ζωροάστηρ Zoroaster "gold star", "star of splendour"[1]; Middle Persian: Zerdutsch' or Zerduscht; Persian: زَردُشت Zardošt / زَرتُشت Zartošt, Pashto زردښت Zardaxt, Kurdish: Zerdeşt) was the legendary initiator of the ancient Persian culture, whose peoples belonged to the northern emigration stream from ancient Atlantis. In contrast to the ancient Indian peoples, who sought their spiritual insights through mystical immersion, the willful magician Zarathustra showed the way to penetrate through the outer veil of sense (maya) to the spiritual world. It is disputed when he lived. In fact, according to Rudolf Steiner, he had seven incarnations in the pre-Christian cultural epochs (Lit.:GA 264, p. 362). At the turn of time he was reborn as the Solomonian Jesus. Since the Mystery of Golgotha, he has incarnated again and again as the Master Jesus.
