pronounce the “Name of God” (originally legends had it as the “Primordial Sound”)<br />

“can ask anything he wishes from God”. Up to now stories have remained that if one<br />

calls God <strong>by</strong> the secret name, one can draw His attention to oneself. But usually, only<br />

spiritually immature people are burning with such a desire. For those who live inside<br />

with God, there is no such need: they have found Him within their Souls and abide in<br />

Him. Spiritually immature people, on the other hand, crave to know the Name.<br />

Moreover, they crave for it to have their own animal power over everything and<br />

everyone. But they do not understand that for them as for an immature fruit, this is fatal.<br />

Man’s narrowed perception, caused <strong>by</strong> the dominance of the Animal nature in him,<br />

reduces the understanding of God to some material subject who, furthermore, is the<br />

same as the person sees himself in three dimensions. Priests have named God with<br />

different “names”, creating one or another religion for themselves. More importantly,<br />

they still make people fight and be at enmity with each other for the superiority of their<br />

religions and the “name” of God, for their dominance over rival religions, and,<br />

consequently, their sole right to speak on behalf of God. Due to various epithets as well<br />

as an intentionally different interpretation <strong>by</strong> priests, people mistakenly believe that<br />

there are different divine gods. But today all the different “names” of God are, in fact,<br />

epithets, which in ancient times, instead of the forbidden name of God, stood for the<br />

One.<br />

<strong>Anastasia</strong>: You are right, and anyone can verify this. It is sufficient to trace the<br />

etymology of the origin and the original meaning of the words that mean the name of<br />

God in different religions.<br />

Rigden: Of course, any intelligent person, having matched this information, will<br />

understand that different “names” of God in religions are merely epithets of the One. For<br />

example, consider the name of the supreme god of the ancient Egyptians – Osiris. This<br />

name is a Greek version of the Egyptian name Usir. That is to say, the Greek word<br />

“Osiris” is derived from the Egyptian “U’sir”, which means “He who is at the top”. Or,<br />

for example, what is the meaning of the name of the Avestan deity in Zoroastrianism<br />

Ahura Mazda (later Ormazd, Ormuzd) proclaimed as the One God <strong>by</strong> the prophet<br />

Zarathustra? By the way, the prophet originally mentioned that the name of Ahura<br />

Mazda was just a substitution for the forbidden name of God, which none among people<br />

know. This God was noted as “Nameless” even in the religious calendar. The Avestan<br />

“Ahura Mazdā” is translated as “God Wise”, “Master of thought”. The Avestan word<br />

“maz-dā” also means “to keep in memory”. As a matter of fact, this “name” is derived<br />

from two Ancient Iranian words having Arian (Indo-Iranian) roots. “Ahura” corresponds<br />

to the Sanskrit word “asura” meaning “master”, while “maz-dā” to the Indian “mēdhā”<br />

which means “wisdom, insight’.<br />
