2412	ENT_ZOR_AMERETAT	aligned_with	ENT_GNO_ZOE	medium	Ameretat ("Immortality" — from Avestan a-mereta, "without death") is the Amesha Spenta of immortality and plants: his physical correlate is vegetation (which embodies perpetual renewal and thus the principle of deathlessness), and he governs the blessed immortality awaiting the righteous at the renovation of the world (Frashokereti). Gnostic Zoe ("Life") appears as one of the divine luminaries/aeons in Sethian Gnostic texts including the Apocryphon of John (NHC II,1: Zoe is one of the four lights), On the Origin of the World (NHC II,5: Zoe is the divine life principle), and Trimorphic Protennoia. The semantic alignment is the most direct available between an Amesha Spenta and a Gnostic aeon: Ameretat = "without-death" = immortality = life without end; Zoe = "Life." Both function within emanatory divine hierarchies as the positive life-principle standing in opposition to death and darkness (Ameretat opposes Zairika, the demoness of aging; Zoe stands against the death-principle in material creation). Confidence medium: the correspondence is semantic and structural but the traditions developed independently; the Gnostic Zoe's cosmological function differs from Ameretat's eschatological role.
