The Three Periods
Cosmic history divided into creation, mixture, and separation.
Zoroastrian cosmology divides time into three periods: creation (Bundahishn) when Mazda created perfectly, mixture (Gumezishn) when evil invaded, and separation (Wizarishn) when good and evil are finally separated.
We live in the time of mixture; separation is coming.
This framework gives structure to cosmic history.

Creation, mixture, separation. We are said to be living in the mixture, the stretch where good and evil are tangled together, and it does not last.
