Neo-Platonic Basics

I’m in a bit of a quandary. I’ve been Working with this syncretic Judeo-Christian/Neo-Platonic system for a while now, based almost entirely on the the Three Books of Occult Philosophy by Agrippa. I’ve been reading Plato’s Timaeus, Plotinus’ Enneads, and Hermes Trismegistus’ s The Divine Pymander, and it’s all been percolating into a pretty strong brew within my sphere. When I hit the epiphany the other day, I was convinced it was a Universal Truth. I still think it is, but the general responses I’m getting are telling me that it’s not making the kind of impact it had on me. In general, I’ve gotten a “yeah, ok” response, when this is the Key to Everything! Well, at least I think it is. For me, definitely, and I don’t see anything that would indicate it wouldn’t be the Key to Life, the Universe and Everything in a much more more meaningful way than “42.”

So, with that in mind, I’m going to be posting a series of NP basics so the foundation of the system I’m working with is documented somewhere. I see another book in my future. Distant future. 🙂

So here’s the planned outline:

1.0 – Overview Sections:

  • 1.1 – NP Cosmology: How it all started
  • 1.2 – The Harmony of the Sphere
