SYNOPSIS AND OVERVIEW OF
“TAHIRIH THEALOGY:
Tahirih Thealogy: Female
Cosmic Christ Spirit of the Age, is a writing which delineates a
spiritual Path for all humankind, which in a sense is religion
beyond religion. It seeks to empower and upraise the Female and thus
upraise the Male in approaching a ‘balanced’ universal society. It
accomplishes this intent by identifying the hitherto concealed
Messianic station and figure of Tahirih, and liberating her from
those who appropriated her figure for their own agenda.
Tahirih appeared in Iran in
1844 along with the Bab, as a twin revelator, fulfilling many
religious prophecies. However, her message was beyond the confines
of orthodoxy and sought to liberate all humankind. Her message,
brought to light, has the potential to unite East and West as the
author has suggested. To date there has been no work done in
Thealogy which includes Islamic prophecy perspectives, and thus
should be ground-breaking in its assertions and proofs.
While the book is well
located in Spiritual Feminism, it also reaches outside of just one
placement whereby it is well suited to the general population, the
scholars, the gnostic, the mystic, the new-age community, the
occult, the religious, the metaphysical world, and of course to
Hollywood (as it has all the truth and drama for the making of a
powerful movie). But above all, this work should be noted as being a
serious historical biography of the life and teachings of an Iranian
heroine whose life story is outlined in some of the chapters. These
chapters accomplish bringing together many scattered bits and pieces
about the life of Tahirih as well as information which has hitherto
been obscured, and thus the book has an important and valuable
historical document contained within it. Conceptually the book has
meaning to the world of science as well in that it upholds the
marriage of spiritual teachings with science and presents ideas for
further scientific exploration. The Sociologist can not help but
benefit from the research put forward in the book concerning the
advanced children (starseeds) being born in this Age. All in all
this book is well suited for almost everyone and every market, at
least in part. The Da Vinci Code named Mary Magdalene as the Holy
Grail, but this is the true story of the return of Mary Magdalene
only a century and a half ago and is therefore relevant to the now
and to the future.
The book incorporates many
writing styles, ranging from academic, to pure conversational and
should find appeal, at least, in part to anyone who comes by its
message. The journey through the book should lead one to self gnosis
through raised conscious awareness and prepare the reader for
entering the expected paradigm shift.
While the chapters and the
material therein may not all seem linked they are interactive in
that they prepare the reader for gaining a broad view for living in
the ‘now’ and being receptive to the Female Voice of our times.
The book is cleverly crafted
and accomplishes not only presenting a biography of the historical
Tahirih but also is in many ways an autobiography of the author
herself. I found the book to be not only informative but riveting –
a book I could not put down. Starr* Saffa is one of the most
intelligent and insightful authors I have had the pleasure of
reading and I believe this book will become an all time classic.
