Paul Pasquesi on the Book of the Holy Hierotheos 57:40

1h ago57:40

57:40

We discuss one of the lesser-known, but most esoterically-important, classics of Syriac spiritual literature, the Book of the Holy Hierotheos. Hierotheos was said to have been the teacher of Dionysius the Areopagite, but he wrote in Syriac, and taught a suspiciously-Evagrian practice of ascent to god.…

Music was seen as a crucial tool for the elevation and transformation of the human soul in ancient esoteric philosophy from Pythagoras to Olympiodorus, and beyond into the western esoteric traditions of later eras.

The Pseudo-Dionysios, the Esoteric, and (Christian) Mysticism 1:06:05

3d ago1:06:05

1:06:05

We turn to the questions: What is ‘mystical’ in the Corpus Dionysiacum? What is esoteric? The answers we come up with involve pretty much every aspect of the western esoteric traditions, and, after all the initiatory liturgy, esoteric scriptural hermeneutics, and theandric activity are cleared away, there remains the ascent to ‘the ray of the divin…

1:04:02

We discuss Justinian's great church, Hagia Sophia, the gem of Constantinople and of Orthodox Christianity.

We discuss the fascinating town of Ḥarrān (in present-day Türkiye), a place known from late antiquity until at least the eleventh century for its continued tradition of astral, polytheist worship.

6M ago1:05:01

1:05:01

We discuss the work of Ioane Petritsi (eleventh to twelfth centuries), a Georgian intellectual whose translation of, and commentary on, the Elements of Theology of Proclus is a historical anomaly in a number of ways.

We discuss the long, convoluted, and often tendentious reception of Proclus and Proclean ideas in the eastern Roman empire.
