To be immersed in the generative world is to drink from the cup of #lethargy, a state where the intellectual rays of the soul are scattered & dimmed, & the essential memory of the One is replaced by a stupor of the manifold.
Proclus
Theology of Plato
Translator, Thomas Taylor
1816

#Honey in the cave represents pleasure that leads the soul into #lethargy of incarnation. By tasting sweetness of the material, soul becomes sticky & heavy, losing its wings & sinking into oblivion of earthly life.
Porphyry
On the Cave of the #Nymphs
Translator, Thomas Taylor
1917
#vss365 #Platonism
The mind, while bound to the service of the animal body, is oppressed by #lethargy that prevents it from contemplating the celestial harmonies. Only heat of divine love can melt this frost & awaken the soul to its true light.
Marsilio Ficino
Commentary
Translator, Sears Jayne
1985

"The soul, having #drunk from the cup of #lethargy upon its #descent into the body, wanders in a state of #forgetfulness, #mistaking #shadows for realities and the #temporal for the eternal."
Plotinus
The Enneads

1969

Tonight I explored the #Christian #Platonism of #Quaker philosopher Anne Conway through the life and novels of another Platonist, the English novelist Mary Renault. Sessions like this remind me what a delight and privilege it is to teach for @woodbrooke.bsky.social. 📖

Ever wondered what shapes reality? Plato's "Form" (Q12220384) sparked debates for millennia—his theory that perfect ideals exist beyond our senses still influences modern metaphysics. #Platonism #Metaphysics
The spirit of #Platonism consists precisely in making knowledge into a spiritual exercise. In order to know, one must transform oneself.

*Not that I think that #Platonism is a philosophy which denies the material, but it is often written off as that by those not paying attention.
On the contrary, Platonism, in all its forms, from Plato to Late Platonism/#Neoplatonism, is firmly pro-Cosmic alongside it's #idealism and #polytheism.
