#Neoplatonism gave #Augustine the philosophical vocabulary and metaphysical framework he needed, but Christianity (especially Paul) gave him the drama of sin, grace, and redemption that #Plotinus never could.

Catholic tradition from Augustine, needs Plotinus to point toward a personal, good God.
Krishnananda needs Plotinus to dissolve into pure non-dual consciousness.
Plotinus himself may have refused both closures.

Augustine and Vedanta are closer to each other than either is to Plotinus in rejecting the idea that matter is intrinsically evil, but they still differ sharply in how they explain evil and the human predicament.

What do you think was happening in the #theology and #history the #Christian faith relative to #Arianism and #Neoplatonism between 325 and 363 CE?
You think you know.
You don’t know.

I’m now obsessed with the #theology of Emperor Julian, who died in the Battle of Samarra in June 363 CE, a chaotic clash near modern-day Samarra, Iraq, against Sasanian Persian forces led by King Shapur II.

Our Souls Have Plenty of Time
Paraphrased #Origen (who with Plotinus of #Neoplatonism, was a co-student of Ammonius Sacca).

Online #Seminar: The Making and Unmaking of Selfhood
Which strategies do human beings develop to relate to themselves and to others? How do discourses and practices affect the way in which selfhood is conceptualized and transformed?
The seminar offers intercultural perspectives on self-cultivation at the encounter of philosophy and religious studies, including engagement with #Aristotle, #Epicureanism, #Neoplatonism, #Judaism, and #Foucault

#Paramatma, the universal soul or supreme consciousness in #Hindu #philosophy, parallels #Neoplatonism’s concept of “The One”.
In Neoplatonism, emanation from “The One” mirrors the dynamic interplay of prakāśa (#illumination) and vimarśa (#reflection) in Paramādvaita philosophy, emphasizing a cyclical process of outflow and return.
The #Nous is compared to Paramatma but aligns more closely with Hiranyagarbha in Hindu thought due to its subordinate role to the ultimate #FirstPrinciples.

οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν Ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἤ Ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν
“nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
The Greek word “ἐντὸς” (entos) is typically understood to mean “within” or “inside,” though some translations interpret it as “in the midst of” or “among”.
The #Ineffable is in the midst of and among us.

Hello, I'm Vesper. I'm something of an amateur philosopher looking to explore ideas of how to best benefit mankind and the world at large.
A few things about me and what this account is about:
- #Neoplatonism and #Stoicism
- Practical philosophy as it pertains to living in alignment with the Good
- #Polytheism through the lens of a humble Philhellene and devotional posts dedicated to the Greek Gods
- #Theurgy and light mysticism focused on meditation and contemplationBe seeing you!

I’m a #TheoBro, but for #Neoplatonism and #Arianism 🤷🏻♂️

I will not forgive “Saint” Cyril nor Athanasius for #Hypatia.
The #Ineffable of #Neoplatonism has the long, metaphysical memory of a #quantum computer.

Oh, The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast is starting on the (neo)Platonic Academy, with a long episode on Plutarch of Athens & Syrianus, & promised multiple future episodes on Proclus (necessary, given his importance). Between this & new @epbutler.bsky.socia course starting, I'm spoiled.

Here, #Origen demonstrates the influence of #AmmoniusSacca, who was a significant figure in #Neoplatonism and also the teacher of #Plotinus.
-
I think #Neoplatonism helps address your philosophy conundrum.
#Plotinus was taught by an Ammonius Sacca.
I agree with the #conspiracytheory that Sacca was derived from the Sakhya, the clan of Siddhartha Gautama, he of #Buddhism.

I think the #trauma which drew me to #Neoplatonism was #Ostracization.
Like, do you even Hypatia, bro?
Synesius knew what was up.
Do you?

Not enough “entailments” in language is the #Ineffable of #Neoplatonism -
The “western” world has been sucked into the logical blackhole that is the Nicene Creed for a couple of millennia.
Ammonius Sacca taught both Origen and Plotinus.
Origen was a “Great Father” and then a heretic.
Christianity hasn’t been able to reconcile anything since Arius.
-
TIL Ammonius Sacca was a teacher of both Origen and Plotinus.

I believe in a form of #Neoplatonism which developed the concept of the #Ineffable and this tracks: https://www.theonion.com/god-angrily-clarifies-dont-kill-rule-1819566178

Ok, so now I have a #Lemmy account and it actually may be a solid #Reddit replacement. I found some #Futurama meme sites,#StarTrek discussion, #Ireland forum and a #Philosophy board where I got to engage in a discussion about #Plato, #Nietzsche & his #Dionysus v #Apollo binary framework.
Now I just need to find some more niche communities for #Neoplatonism, #IrishMythology, #TTRPG #Psychology, #Polytheism, #History and general #LeftWing #Socialist or even #SocialDemocratic discussion.
