    The music in the background is incredible beautyful and suits Dionysus nicely.

    Great interpretations! I would love to hear your thoughts on the Chaldean Oracles. Blessings

      Rafael, always a pleasure to hear from you! Of course! Such a complex topic as the Chaldean Oracles! I can certainly try. In past videos I highlighted aspects of Chaldean doctrine, particularly the trinity of eros pistis aletheia. But I'm sure many more smaller principles can be extracted from the corpus of writings. You know, I look forward with immense pleasure to the release of each of your videos. Nowhere else on this platform do I see such piety. I hope that you continue.

      You are always so kind to me@@abbasalchemist . Thank you for your kind words. The last video I posted recently was shorter and somewhat "heretic", but I'm planning to post a new one soon. And about the Chaldean corpus: I would love to hear your take on the Hypezokos. Blessings!

    So why are the followers of the 6th century bc the neoplatonists, and not the Christian platonists of the Renaissance? I believe they use the same word for people like Thomas Taylor but I could be wrong, perhaps they likened themselves to this later group?

      How are there even 6th century bc platonists when Plato hadn't even been born to give his philosophy?

      ​@@RatnoseterryI believe you're referring to Damascius the Neoplatonist. I misspoke and meant to say CE or AD. Thank you for the catch!
