Caste for the Zarathustrians, 8,000 years ago: At this time, a caste system for the I’hin, I’huan, and Druk was established as a necessity rather than for elitism or exclusivity. It was implemented to help mortals make ideal marital decisions that would establish expertise in certain fields (occupations) and was never meant to endure until the end of time. In fact, about 1,800 years after this, the caste system was no longer needed and had become abusive, so darkness-inspired inter-marriage broke up this particular caste system. Initially, however, the castes were as follows:
- First caste: the I’hin, sacred among all people because they keep the Creator’s commandments
- Second caste: the I’huan, more powerful than any other people, so they subdue the Earth
- within the 2nd caste, a thousand more sub-castes were created for “all other occupations under the sun” to establish expertise in those occupations
- Third caste: the druks, “the evil people, who will not learn” (evil back then more so meant a focus on Earthly desires that disobeyed the commandments)
To-day I say: Preserve ye the caste of men; marry ye thus and so, every one to their own line. For I perceive it is wisdom. To-morrow I say: I will have no caste, for the races are becoming impoverished in blood; marry here and marry there!
Caste system for the Chinese, 6,000 years ago: About 1,000 years after the caste system of Zarathustra’s time, a different caste system was established in China by the prophet Po. Once again, the castes were for practical purposes, “Each and every caste shall remain by itself”, but “all of them are worthy before me, and are equally my children”. China’s 7-caste system consisted of prophets, those with the “highest genealogy”, rab’bahs and priests, nuns, physicians, the rich, and the very poor. The wise were supposed to raise up the foolish and the rich were supposed to apportion their riches for the benefit of the city and counsel the poor.
Today the Indian culture is still trying to abolish the abuses that have been perpetuated by the caste system of the past. Even Oahspe admitted that caste systems of the “olden time” morphed into people callously determining one’s caste by the number of servants one had or how many generations of their parents had risen above servitude.
