You are now a devout follower of all and must synthesize their works into a coherent way-of-life and live it.

Explain your beliefs and first course of action

This is for your own good.

Have read a fair bit of his works and experienced his art. By far the greatest artistic genius to ever live.

Live a Platonic life according to the Bible, and in idealisation of the things in themselves. By the assertion of all individual suffering and the acknowledgement of the frailty of the world; that is to say - also - the rejection of the individual will to life for that of 'other', or the Good, and the Beautiful.

Still I don't feel as if I follow morality consciously considering that my intuition is always right, and intuition must be lumped together with faith as well as desire by necessity. Because of their apparent unconscious nature and connections.

I believe in one God, creator of heaven and earth, his divine son Christ and the holy spirit. Tri-unity. I believe in truth, goodness and beauty. They must exist in a platonic realm of unchanging forms. These forms are somehow situated in the mind of God. God is a consuming fire, one that loves all men and wants to see us saved. Hell is a process of purification, self-awareness of our sins and the pain of being separated from them. God will separate all from their sins, destroy sin and conquer over evil. Some will find this process more painful than others, but all will be healed in the final calculus, and God will be all in all.

I guess I have to live more obediently, less selfishly, be less worried about tomorrow, be more thoughtful of others, think with my heart/nous. See the world as an outpouring of God's creative wonder, although currently fallen it will be mended.

Plato has a great quote against homos, can't find it atm. Something about how homosex doesn't lead to reproduction so it's retarded and useless and has no redeeming features. Clement was Christian so his advice would be obvious.

The Symposium still sounded pretty gay to me. I'm straight btw, just joking around.

Ah little children.

The greatest difference between Plato's stances on homosexuality I believe can be found between The Symposium and Laws.

In the Symposium, there is some acceptance of romantic, male interests, while in Laws there is an absolute abhorrence of such behavior. Anyway, this is obviously because Plato was a sort of a scribe, as these were dialogues. He has transcribed for many different people throughout the years he lived, the main three represented in the dialogues were Socrates, Parmenides, Timaeus, and Megillus (from Laws). The last and first of which had conflicting views on homosexuality.

Do your homework on Plato, but please read Aristotle's Metaphysics in the meantime (so I can say you couldn't make it through lol). :3

"Whether these matters are to be regarded as sport, or as earnest, we must not forget that this pleasure is held to have been granted by nature to male and female when conjoined for the work of procreation; the crime of male with male, or female with female, is an outrage on nature and a capital surrender to lust of pleasure. And you know it is our universal accusation against the Cretans that they were the inventors of the tale of Ganymede; they were convinced, we say, that their legislation came from Zeus, so they went on to tell this story against him that they might, if you please, plead his example for their indulgence in this pleasure too. With the tale we have no further concern, but the pleasures and pains of communities and of private lives are as good as the whole subject of a study of jurisprudence." (Laws I 636a-d)

Be polite. Speak well but little. Meditate everyday. Focus on the real. Learn to swim and sing. Be the perfect man unafraid of death but committed to doing what you know is right. Always seek to listen to the messages the universe gives you in whatever ways it reaches out to communicate. Don't get lost in a hippy haze.

I really ought not judge how many people are willingly snuffing out God's light within them through indulging in soul-sucking ideologies, but it's genuinely unclear how to get people to see through our constructed world of lies and start looking into God's light within. We live in a truly horrifying world, I really ought to pray that God lend me the strength to make it through whenever he deems my life to be over.
