Shah Nameh on the creation of the world, part six with Omid Arabian. Thank you so much.

Okay, Salam, Mommy, Jan.

Thank you so much for joining me on one more.

Last time we had some questions about the general Shahnaume, so we ran a little bit long.

We decided to add one more part to conclude, go over the last few lines of the Shahnaame, and also to talk about kind of the cynicism that came up last time about humanity.

We talked about how the human was the Kelid and why that was when it seems like things are working without us.

But Omid, if you can kind of talk to us about that, about what's going on here, what Ferdozi was trying to tell us.

Absolutely. As we read the next remaining lines, it will become even more clear, but just to kind of

set it up, I think Ferrethosi, in this section, because it's really kind of talking about the

beginning of things, he's really intent on showing us what human beings are capable.

And in our potential,

how valuable and important and powerful we truly are, right?

Now, that power doesn't necessarily have to be used for good, right?

And Farisian knows that. Fairdusine knows that it can go either way.

But he's pointing us towards the potential towards good, of good that we have, right?

The divine potential that is instilled within us, right?

So that maybe we can start to consider, all right, what am I truly capable of?

And how am I using these powers, right? And that's very, very important.

And we see in Shaanahua that there's a lot of terrible things that happen, right?

So he's not assuming or implying that human beings have only used their charlatan

and only live with this kind of divine humanity, right?
