    Spiritually Rejuvenating
  

*by A***7 on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021*

The Book of Mirdad is an amoral, irrationalist call for reverence and unity.With themes common to Nietzsches “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” and Martin Bubers “I-Thou”, this book, although small in stature is mighty in depth.I read this book as a recommendation from a friend who is very into astrology, so my guard was definitely up, as I excepted pseudoscientific, metaphysical Rhetoric. But what I found was, well yeah. Pretty much exactly that.BUT the book delivers its content in such a way that the reader can draw from it only as much as the reader can draw from oneself. At face value, this book has all the makings to be a text of Sufism.It preaches harmony through contradiction, birth through death, and unity through difference; it’s a direct attack on Aristotle’s “firmest principle” — that something cannot be and not be at the same time.This book is not for the dogmatic religious zealot who find offense in individuality. The entire book is predicated on a canonically heretical interpretation of a book that 1/3 of the world holds as sacred. This book is for the dreamer who envisions a world of peace, stemming from a book that has so far only inspired war and division.The authors transvaluation of Christian morality (hence the Nietzschean Geist at play) is fecund, insofar as it forces the reader to think. For this alone, I give the book 5 stars and would recommend to anyone.The author, Mikhail Naimy, beautifully fuses post-modern ideology (heavily influenced by Nietzsche) with classic Jewish theology (As elaborated on by Martin Buber) in his amoral interpretation of the Genesis story. For example, Naimy points to the original sin not being the eating of the forbidden fruit from The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but rather to Adam and Eve (who he views as one) clothing themselves before god. Nietzsche’s amoralism lurks in the insinuation that paradise was found where man knew not of good and evil, whereas Bubers I-Thou distinction finds footing in the authors idea of the original sin being man clothing himself from god, thus instantiating the ego, separating the “I” from the “Thou” — a blunder that the author claims man has been struggling with since.Despite your take on the Authors views, every single concept put forth in this book has rooting in hundreds of years of philosophy and theology, which is to say, it’s worthwhile to encounter.10/10. Written as a dance more so than a book, this text will lift you on the wings of eagles, where your lofty soul will be forced to view itself from far above.

Deeply spiritual and meaningful. This book touched my heart in many ways. The messages can easily be missed or lost but for those who are spiritually inclined, I highly recommend.
