Prometheus and Atlas

By: Jason Reza Jorjani

Narrated by: Daniel Natal

In Prometheus and Atlas, Dr. Jorjani endeavors to deconstruct the nihilistic materialism and rootless rationalism of the modern West by showing how it was grounded on a dishonest suppression of the spectral and why it has a parasitic relationship with Abrahamic religious fundamentalism. Rejecting the marginalization of ESP and psychokinesis as “paranormal”, Prometheus and Atlas makes the case that psi is only “super natural” insofar as our reductive modern scientific models have occluded supernature for practical purposes.

At the same time, Jorjani calls for a conscious recognition of the superhumanly empowering archetypes of Prometheus and Atlas, which he argues have unconsciously driven the daring scientific exploration and discovery of all those cultures that adopted and adapted the cosmopolitan promise of the Hellenic heritage. Embracing the Promethean and Atlantic spirit, and a reach for a fiery fusion of the horizons of the Eastern and Western worlds, would mean the dawn of a new age and an integral society wherein the modern barriers between science, religion, politics, and art have been dynamited.

Excellent work

Serious and comprehensive review of psi phenomena, UFO sightings and encounters, as well as paranormal phenomena experienced and reported throughout history

Monument and Pioneering at the same time

Did you know that Johannes Kepler was also an avid astrologer. On the surface, this will be a survey of various religious, scientific, and philosophical great minds from Ancient Greece and Persia to late Twentieth Century Europe, America, and Japan with an argument for a unity which is "Atlantean" by various definitionss. Even the well read will be shocked to discover the depths of occult and alchemical interets and investigations by great scientists and philosophers like Emmanuel Kant and Sir Francis Bascom. The "conservative" unity between Robespier and Napoleon will be , in the very least thought provoking. The Cartesian unity between Des Cartes and the Marquis De Sade is discussed at length, which allows the Author to demolish De Sade, a prophet of the modern hedonism. Atlas and Promethius are transformed from the decorative statuary outside Rockefeller Center into the transformation of a chaotic Firmament and all consuming Void into measurable space and time and an ultra-pragmatic use of diametrically opposed theories to describe and manipulate Nature and Super Nature respectively; With theory being being defined and limited by tools and technology, a stark reversal of the general assumption. These Two are supplemented by the Spectral: that which simply cannot be e explained by theories or practice, or defined within space and time. An eclectic work with far reaching implications.

Aggregation of human lore and alien representations in stories

I liked the fast paced, intellectually worded voyage that Jorjani undertook! Quite sensational to be an audiobook! This one might be more appreciated with a copy and perhaps a journal.

One of the most intreating books I have read in the last 10 years

A truly fascinated work. Each chapter could’ve been its own separate book. Prometheus and Atlas, is first and foremost a rigorous work of philosphy. It casts Kant’s and Descartes’s work in new light or perhaps better put in shadow of a old ‘Specter’.

If you’re familiar with and interested in the work of William James, C.G. Jung or Jacques Vallee, I would highly recommend you immediately start listening to this book.

Fascinating!

Extremely thought-provoking content and analysis of a number of topics that inform the learner of deep mysteries that exist on the very edge of reality, yet are real. I thoroughly enjoyed the book but I was left with an emptiness by the end due to being taken by the author to the depths of an abyss where a hidden truth lay yet I was abandoned in that darkness just as I reached the gate to the door of the great mystery. The book was very academic and loaded with fascinating facts and threads to pull on. I will definitely follow this author and read more of his works.
