Passing by Hormuz: The name 'Hormuz' is derived from the Sassanian era name 'Hormaz' (Ohrmazd) which refers to the dualistic deity of the Zoroastrian religion (the state religion of the Sassanian empire). When Zartosht (Zarathustra/Zoroaster) established the religion thousands of years prior to the Sassanian empire, it was decreed that all who seek the enlightened path, will find their way to Hormuz (Ohrmazd) and thus, the freedom of religious practice was an integral aspect of the Persian kingdoms. It was a requirement that all hearts find Ohrmazd on their own, the understanding being that it is a journey for the individual, and that the hearts which are of Truth (Asha) will establish the route through to Hormuz. How poetic is it, that many thousands of years later, the now Islamic Republic of Iran declared that all vessels that seek to pass through Hormuz must be non-threatening, claiming the deceitful nature of the enemy vessels will not be allowed passage and that only vessels with pure intentions will be allowed to pass? An incredible cosmic metaphor manifested to reality.
