Seneca - Moral Letters - 41: On the God Within Us

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
“it is foolish to pray for this when you can acquire it from yourself.”
“For what is more foolish than to praise in a man the qualities which come from without?”
“No man ought to glory except in that which is his own”
“Praise the quality in him which cannot be given or snatched away, that which is the peculiar property of the man. Do you ask what this is? It is soul, and reason brought to perfection in the soul”

This one filled my heart with so many sensations it is of the divine. A simple truth that your soul or spirit is bonded too.

You can tell this was christianized by the introduction but as soon as he says "In each man a god doeth dwell, but what god know we not" you get the impression of a more pantheistic roman paganism

[@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200]

@Dev Jones Do you mean that by attending to only the things in yourself they kind of expressed the 'Will' as the highest thing in nature? As in like they were willing to Trust their own 'directing mind' as Marcus Aurelius says? In that sense I think we lost something great with pantheism lol

By far, the worst remarks by Seneca are on theological subjects, which are just about worthless.
