Here, #Origen demonstrates the influence of #AmmoniusSacca, who was a significant figure in #Neoplatonism and also the teacher of #Plotinus.

I think #Neoplatonism helps address your philosophy conundrum.
#Plotinus was taught by an Ammonius Sacca.
I agree with the #conspiracytheory that Sacca was derived from the Sakhya, the clan of Siddhartha Gautama, he of #Buddhism.
There is no clear evidence of any historical fiction books that feature #Origen and #Plotinus.

Is this my opening for #NaNoWriMo?
www.academia.eduThe Three Hypostases of Plato, Origen and PlotinusCompare Origen’s understanding of God (On First Principles) to that of Plotinus’ (Enneads) to show the divergent paths they took. Answer is to include Plato’s metaphysics and Stoicism contribution to the development of their thought, and Justin
TIL Ammonius Sacca was a teacher of both Origen and Plotinus.

@Woodchaz I think #Plotinus ate magic mushrooms 4 times in his life, achieving transcendental clarity with the Ineffable that inspired the #Enneads. I think there was a lot of foraging of mushrooms in and around the ancient Mediterranean. https://www.wired.com/story/the-psychedelic-scientist-who-sends-brains-back-to-childhood/
I recently discovered Plotinus and Neoplatonism and wish there was a TikTok channel for the Enneads in the vocabulary of a 5th grader, cuz then I would totally download the app.

@anirvan @histodons @SteveLittle You haven’t used ChatGPT correctly until you’ve tried to run the #Enneads of #Plotinus thru it in 2k character chunks rewritten for a 5th grade audience.
Which team are you on? Team Plotinus or team Iamblicus?

Continued thread
Saw some fascist idiots on the birb site trying to diss a trans inclusive analysis of #Plotinus so I made these memes based on #Proclus actual own words to show that #Neoplatonism and #Platonism of late antique #Polytheism are in fact very #transinclusive.
Q: How does Neoplatonism relate to Advaita Vedanta?

Hi!
Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.
I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.
I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.
Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.
My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.
It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.
Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.
Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.
Music-
I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.

#MaxStirner
#Hegel
#Heraclitus
#Iamblichus
Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.
Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.
Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
Peace and Solidarity!
