	known about it for awhile, it is also noted that the three main religions stem from Zoroastrianism. Monotheism, the belief in one God came from it to, as Zoroastra came to believe in one God first. I remember once a long time ago watching a documentary on it that Zoroastra saw a vision in a fire, can't remember exactly. They have fire as a symbol of life and light, just as the sun (which is basically a big ball of fire) sustains us. Light being the goodness, that illuminates through us. (Let your light shine ) Kinda relate to this because it is the sun i have an affinety with, (or also i hate it at time, its a love hate relationship at times ) I sometimes just stand with eyes close facing the sun feeling its radiance and essence. It is what sustains us and gives life without it we would die. I guess this is why i have a somewhat interest in zoroastrainism, at least my ears pick up So yes i can see and understand why they use fire as a symbol of life, I don't believe they worship it. In another documentary, the people light a fire in what looks like a huge bowl and they stand around it and pray. Once zoroastrains had to hide from prosecution just like other groups of beliefs and religions.

	I know they say that when a child is born into the community the child brings a bright light
	Judgement day passes in the moment we decide something needs attention & we take positive action. Then there will be a great sorting out of people into groups, Inspired by Surah 99 Ayat 1-8

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrism Do any of you know anything about these guys? Its a monotheistic religion. I stumbled on it the other day and found it fascinating.
