Thank goodness for Pierre Grimes l! He rocks philosophy! Thank goodness for Jeffery Mishlove! He opens doors and shines in the light of genuine curiosity with superb technique & magnificent talent. 🙏
The conversations with Pierre Grimes are among my most favorite discussions. I just love listening to the fluidity of dense content with interesting analysis.
This was such a helpful insight into the development of platonism/neoplatonism. Although Pierre isn't keen on 'theurgy', to pick up a copy of Iamblichus's 'On the Mysteriis' is to have hold of, and experience, a numinous text.
The Neoplatonist Pseudo-Christian Synesius of Cyrene has a very interesting treatise about divination by dreams. And later Priscian had written to King Khosroes of Persia about the same subject. So I am not convinced this school neglected dreamwork, but held a healthy skepticism about the imagination and its relation to knowledge by sense perception.
In terms of Silence, there is probable Buddhist influence in the later Hesychast tradition in Byzantine monasticism where monks sat in silent contemplation, leading (it is thought) to the phrase “contemplating one’s navel”.
When the Academy was closed by Justinian, Syria was not part of the Islamic world. Mohammed was not yet born. Syria was then very much part of the Byzantine Empire.

Most excellent! 💛

Valeu!

Al Farabi is considered the second " teacher " refering to Aristotle. correction to beloved Grimes
Lovely!
"One" implies non-separation, trying to unify with it is like a dog trying to be one with itself by catching its own tail!
