Unslaved welcomes back Jason Reza Jorjani for a discussion about ancient Iranian (Persian) culture and mysticism. Who were the Magi, Parthians and Medes? Were they related to the high Arya? Were their traditions cannibalized by Christians, Moslems, Sufis, Jews, Gnostics and secret societies? Jason explains the nature and influence of Mithraism, Mazdeanism and Zoroastrianism on later religions and cultures. Jason delineates the seven initiation stages of Mithraism, elements of which appear in Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism. He explains the Mithraic leitmotifs to be found in America in the form of the Statue of Liberty and other civic structures. Also discussed is Metaphysical Dualism, the gods of light and darkness, the divine androgyne, the Zend Avesta, Zurvanism, Sol Invictus, the goddess Anahita, Persian monarchs Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes, the Sassanian Empire, the Kurds, the Sufis, the Silesian Pirates, Gnosticism, Manicheanism, Apollonius of Tyana, astro-theology, zodiacal symbolism in Christianity, the Precession of the Equinoxes, the Platonic Cycle, eternal return, cosmic dissolution, freedom versus determinism.
