XIV — Iamblichus and Proclus' Radical Foundation for Prayer Iamblichus: Porphyry has misread the passage entirely. Plato is not addressing the hesitant, but those who desire cosmic salvation. Then Proclus: all things are offspring of the gods, proceeding from them while remaining in them.

Sim eu sou multinaturalista pois sou um platônico (unidade da cultura/humanidade (o nous como uno-múltiplo que se se revela na natureza qua natureza paradigmática) e pluralidade dos corpos (natureza qua natureza, domínio da divisibilidade corpórea, as "peles animais")).

Part of the Whole: Porphyry's Fifth Argument for Prayer Porphyry's fifth and final argument: we are parts of the All, and for every part, reversion to the Whole brings salvation. Prayer is the part's turning toward its encompassing source. In Tim. I.209 — and then Iamblichus arrives.

youtu.be/JOKEV3_C86c Porphyry's fourth argument: the wisest among all peoples — Brahmans, Magi, Greek theologians, Chaldeans — have made prayer their central concern. Even Virtue was named a Goddess by the Chaldeans. In Tim. I.208–209, with textual discussion.

When the cosmic causes all agree, you're powerless. But they usually disagree — and then your choiceis the casting vote that tips the balance. How oracles and theurgy shore up human freedom in Proclus. Also in this: the dignity of the self-reflective soul. youtu.be/pW3CUZ2CjfM

Porphyry's Third Argument: The Gods as Our Parents youtu.be/8_fuUeStJ2U Porphyry's third argument: we are children separated from our true parents, the gods, and prayer is the child's cry for return. Proclus takes this notion and develops a full theory of divine inspiration through filial relation.

Porphyry's Second Argument: The Body as Prison youtu.be/1pIyTpxwaE0 Porphyry's second argument draws directly on the Phaedo (62b4): the virtuous man knows he is "in prison," that the body holds the soul as a jail holds its captive. In Tim. I.208.

Porphyry's First Argument: Like Seeks Like youtu.be/QNg45xffx64 Porphyry's first argument for prayer: the virtuous person is most like the gods, and like seeks connection with like. Prayer is proper to the greatest amongst us - not to the weakest. In Tim. I.208.

Proclus' pronoia is not "God thinks about us." It is divine activity prior to Nous — older than intellection, the polarization of presence by Value. This is one of the places where Proclus' esotericism becomes visible. New video. youtu.be/kL5h58ikGlU

Before Porphyry argues for prayer, he maps who can't. Denial of prayer comes in three forms — deny the gods, deny providence, deny contingency — and any one suffices to make prayer meaningless. Proclus' In Tim. I.207. New video. youtu.be/nrmHuAP7t3U

Por que Sol = 4, Lua = 7, Marte = 3? A ordem numérica dos dias planetários parece caótica. Não é. A chave está numa identidade escondida: o Ano é o Dia. Como o Sol é Uno, o ano e o dia são a mesma atividade — e daí nasce toda a correspondência numerológica. youtu.be/ZJiXvYNCa6g
