BLOOMINGTON, Ind.

Author Eric Dryden began the search for intellectual and spiritual truth decades ago. During this process, he studied ancient history, anthropology, Greek philosophy, http://: Levantine Christian theology and Marxist materialism. This quest brought him insight which he distills in his new book, "Ashavid: Guidance for Nordkind Minds Seeking Knowledge of Asha-the Cosmic Law of All Father, Ahura Mazda " (published by Lulu).

"Ashavid" describes historical patterns regarding the rise and fall of civilizations. Dryden focuses on the ancient Indo-European prophet Zarathustra and his revelation that influenced later Christian denominations. "Ashavid" calls for Indo-European ("Nordkind") people to break free of Levantine and Marxist mindsets and draw closer to Zarathustra's teachings.

"Extending from the dawn of creation to the 21st century, 'Ashavid' presents both an iconoclastic religious manifesto and an inspired, out-of-the box scholarly narrative," Dryden says.

An excerpt from "Ashavid":

"This religion is both an inspired faith and a logical worldview. It is based on the divine revelation of the ancient Irano-Aryan Prophet, Spitama Zarathustra. It is the faith that is most natural to noble Nordkind men and women, for they are the modern kindred of that ancient spiritual teacher-the first great Saoshyant. Therefore, those who embrace Ashavid follow the one true Prophet of our Creator who is the Wise Lord Ahura Mazda-our All Father."
