The Part of You That Volunteered
The Fravashi: Your Pre-Existent Higher Self, the Divine Double That Chose to Enter the World and Fight The Inner Fire — Part 7 Before you were born — before your body existed, before your first breath, before your parents met — there was a part of you that already existed. It was not your soul. Your soul ( urvan ) entered the world at birth and will return at death. The part that already existed is something older, higher, and untouchable. It has been present since Ahura Mazda created the universe.

The Fravashi: Your Pre-Existent Higher Self, the Divine Double That Chose to Enter the World and Fight The Inner Fire — Part 7 Before you were born — before your body existed, before your first breath, before your parents met — there was a part of you that already existed. It was not your soul. Your soul ( urvan ) entered the world at birth and will return at death. The part that already existed is something older, higher, and untouchable. It has been present since Ahura Mazda created the universe. It participated in the original creation. It knew what the material world was — the battlefield between Asha and Druj — and it was given a choice. It could stay in the spiritual realm, safe, protected, beyond the reach of Angra Mainyu and the forces of destruction.
