The "Byzantine" philosopher Damascius the Diadochus (VI c., roughly under the reign of Justinian I) was soooooooo close to say something Zen. What a pity. Oh, well...

Damascius / Δαμάσκιος Damaskios (450-post 532 c.a)
Iamblichus / Ἰάμβλιχος Iamblichos / 𐡉𐡌𐡋𐡊𐡅 Yamlīkū (250-330)
Why I am persuaded that #Iamblichus De Anima is basically Sarvāstivādin Anatta doctrine in denial,
while #Damascius theory of Ineffable is basically Śūnyavāda plus rDzogs Chen well hidden?

Joan Francesc Oliveras Pallerols - Menander I and Nagasena
Totally unrelated to the current events:
I thought:
synthesizing
- the #Plotinus dialectics and The One
- #Iamblichus theory of the soul-as-changing-essence
- #Damascius theory of Nothingness-prior-to-The-One
You basically have sorta, half-baked #Sarvastivada - #Mahayana / #Daoism

The anti-polytheist laws of the Empire puts the courage of the late Platonic school polytheists like #Proclus, #Damascius et al into context.
They were developing some of the strongest philosophical frameworks for polytheism at a time it was illegal to be a polytheist.
