Pythagorean Mysteries with Dr. John Opsopaus

Join us Sunday August 10th @ 11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST for Pythagorean Mysteries with Dr. John Opsopaus
Twenty-six centuries ago Pythagoras founded an initiatory secret order in which he taught the true nature of the gods and their connection to the numbers, understood as spiritual principles. His doctrines were based in part on the teachings of his master, Pherekydes, and of the Persian Magi, as well as Zoroastrianism and the Orphic Mysteries. Pythagoreanism continued as an esoteric tradition in the West, significantly influencing Plato and later Platonists, and providing a basis for the spiritual practices of the late antique Neoplatonism of Emperor Julian, Iamblichus, Proclus, and others. Especially after its rediscovery in the Italian Renaissance, Pythagoreanism, provided the esoteric heart of the spiritual, mystical, and magical traditions of Europe and the Near East. In this class we enter the Pythagorean Mysteries to discover their for us today.
