SpentamanSpentaman - the Holy Spirit.Spentaman is the spirit of love of life, the spirit-being that transforms us for the Good. Sometimes we distinguish between Spentamantor who is a being outside of us who changes us for the better, and Spentamania which is the christian spirit within us. Spentaman - the 'Life-increasing Spirit' is the power that changes minds, by bringing wisdom, changing values, developing the abilities of the mind and enlivening the life-loving energies of the soul. AngramanOpposed to Spentaman is Angraman the deceitful one who leads astray.A Mania is a mental-spirit - a kind of spirit or movement that affects the mind. A Mania can possess a mind so that it affects its operation. A Mania in one mind can also impact other minds in communication with it, and transfer over to it. From Zoroastrian tradition we recognise two manias in particular. These are Spentamania which is a life-enhancing spirit and Angramania which is a life-decreasing spirit. amended Jan 4025 EHE |
