Thank you John for taking this into account. I would welcome to send you a book on Mazda Yasna, which I think will help you get a perspective on this philosophy and its impact.

I want to commend you on another outstanding essay. My only question is: at what point do you plan to spend more time exploring Zoroastrian philosophy and the role of the Magi? In many ways, Western thought has a profound blind spot (with the exception of a few philosophers) in overlooking the ideas of fire, harmony, order, and the balance of opposites.

You might enjoy delving into Mazda Yasna—the true name of Zoroastrianism—which offers a deeply nuanced view of these principles. I’d be happy to assist in any way toward this goal.

This sounds interesting. What book are you suggesting?

Appreciate the comment, Nader. Zoroastrian philosophy/cosmology is definitely on the list to get to.
