He might have given us the last, and purest, glimpse into the ancient truths that are now kept hidden. Alexandria in that day and age, just before Christians made it their number one priority to erase all evidence of true knowledge from the face of history. Read him next to the Bagavad Gita, Dhamapada, and the Upanishads, with a firm background in Platonism and Taoism, and you'll get close to the goal.
