For those interested in Neo-Plationism (of course someone like Plotinus didn't use this term. It's new), one might get surprised if was told that it doesn't start with Pythagoras, Plato or Plotinus. It actually starts with Ancient Egyptian Theology (Memphite Theology).
Plato's neurosis with ousia/essence came from Pythagoras but Pythagoras was stepping down the mystisicm of Egyptian religious philosophy and Plato got it about as unmystified as anything can get while still retaining mystical and enigmatic qualities.
Here is the list I recommend to study, but of course I don't list any Neo-Platonic source texts because Egyptian trajectory is absolutley essential to understanding Theurgy if that is your goal.
Once you have a full grasp of that, the Plotinian, Proclian and Porphyrrian ideas will be a cinch:
🔆 Living Theurgy - Jeffrey S. Kupperman
🔆 Jeremy Naydler - Temple of the Cosmos
🔆 Normandi Ellis - Imagining the World into Existence
🔆 Algis Uzdavinys - Philosophy as a Rite of Rebirth

📷 The stunning Etruscan war chariot ca 6th Century BC photographed by Jason Martinez Photography.
The Monteleone chariot is one of 6 known to remain in this condition and was undoubtedly used to accomodate a driver and a highly distinguished individual.
Made of bronze with heavy useage of ivory inlays, Achilles and other Homeric scenes adorn this beautiful piece. The wheels are rather significant as they are wooden but covered with bronze to prevent damage, an expensive and unusual practice. It is on display at the Met, NY. LINK.

A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.

Last night, UFC Fighter Renato Moicano won a fight against Drew Dober.
In his post-fight interview, Renato tilted his hat to the Austrian philosophy and warned that if you care about your country, read Ludwig von Mises and study the six lessons of the Austrian Economic School.
Cheers to Renato, and shoutout to every one of you who consistently talks about this philosophy and works to bring it to the forefront.
