I'm happy to see that Jason, and Counter-Currents, are exploring these kinds of speculative non-Christian myths and possibly developing a new ontology of Indo-Aryanism. The Tradition has always understood the distinction between the exoteric and the esoteric dimensions of great mythological systems. The imaginal, the hyperdimensional and paranormal fields are cognitively closed to most people, but the movement needs to be anchored in something greater than biology and politics. I would hope that the work of Miguel Serrano will also be explored as a source of creative speculation about the nature of reality and our people.
Jorjani is one of major thinkers of anti-christian Right. We really need more people like him, for they upen open up a way of freeing our movement from christian constraints that already did so much damage to the world.
Masterpiece of extreme pessimist literature, it was also a major influence on the philosophy and fiction of great Thomas Ligotti.
I had the privilege of editing Jason's latest work, which is a study of the masterpiece of modern Persian literature, Sadegh Hedayat's "The Blind Owl." Jason is the perfect author for this effort, given that, in addition to his Persian background and extensive knowledge of Persian history and philosophy, his grandfather was Hedayat's best friend. Jason was kind enough to give me a copy of Hedayat's book long before he knew I would be the one fortunate enough to edit his analysis of it, and while I enjoyed it immensely and was immediately struck by its supernatural tone, I initially took it as a Kafkaesque fable (Hedayat was the translator of Kafka into Farsi). In reading Jason's book, however, I realized that "The Blind Owl" is in fact thick with references from Persian mythology, history, and philosophy, and this study does a masterful job of showing what is encoded in the text, and also how it fits into the ongoing Weltanschauung regarding our past and future psychic evolution as a species that Jason has been developing since "Prometheus and Atlas." I highly recommend it, and not only because I worked on it.
