    Pythagoras once said, "No one likes a know it all!" Ironicous laughed himself sober. And said he hadn't cared for Pythagoras... ever, really.

    Wow. What a story. I always knew Pythagoras was a great man because of his findings in mathematics. But he went way beyond that. I can excuse some of the hyperbole because the people probably invented stories of their own. I don't think Pythagoras could control the weather but you expect some of this in history. His statement that "The truth deifies a man," and "God is light. God's soul is truth," rings true to me. Today, we call science a "search for the truth." I subscribed.

    I was always told how bad at mathematics I was. Mother and father never believed much in me. Fast forward to 26, (big number in numerology) I’ve interpreted all the clues in my life, all the people I’ve come into contact with, and cracked alot of mysteries. God bless the chosen.

    “Though decked with leafy crowns”
    After a series of visions I experienced, my minds eye had grown drawn towards the scattered mentions of “thigh” in the works of mythos, theology, and the spotted histories which boarder them both.
    I’d be curious to hear the thoughts of others concerning this “thigh” motif; there must be some aspect to this appearing in literature that could be related to the “golden thigh of Pythagoras”.
    I’ve starting to suspect it’s a birthmark, which carries some timeless significance.
    I’d love to chat with anyone interested!

    Was the famous and ancient Phoenician city of Tyre part of Assyria? I thought that Pythagoras was of Phoenician roots not Assyrian, since Tyre was one of the most notable Phoenician cities of the Eastern Mediterranean. That’s where Europe was born and that’s where they sailed from to establish Carthage.

    Thank you. Wow, if the tragedy of his followers sacrificing themselves for him is true, what an irony, preaching detachment all your life, then to die from grief. Understandable, of course, but who knows, so many stories. And with all his wisdom, that wasn't the smartest thing to do, reject Cylon like that. I always thought anybody could discover the Pythagorean formula from observations with blocks or something. And of course, it's from Vedic texts way before attribution to Pythagoras (snake gathering place, python agora).

    • @iBlagg8
      @iBlagg8 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      What would a man like Cylon do with that knowledge? Maybe Pythagoras knew to well and was able to sacrifice everything.

      He was a mystery school teacher so I'm pretty sure he did. The no meat and no bean could have been because of something like Syrian rue which can trigger serotonin syndrome when taking with something like ayahuasca.
