Neoplatonism is just Gnosticism for autists, avoid it at all costs.

That's also true, best to stay out of mysticism entirely.

Start with the Lithuanians. Uzdavinys

I really like Uzdavinys, more than most of the traditionalists, but I can't seem to find Ascent to Heaven in Islamic and Jewish Mysticism anywhere online. Have you found it online anywhere?

>> No.17523137

>>17522868
other way around, gnosticism is just autistic fanfiction.

Daily reminder "Neoplatonism" is actually original Platonism with the secret, non-written teachings incorporated. Neoplatonism was, more or less, the actual philosophy of Plato.

>> No.17524409

>>17522938
be careful with Uzdavinys, he has been known to impose his own views in his commentaries of Plotinus. As such I recommend the Gerson edition of the Enneads before you read anything by Uzdavinys.

Based. Nothing neo about the ancient Platonists. If anything christian and modern currents could be called neoplatonism
>>17522655
Start with Plato, then Plotinus, then Proclus. End with Uzdavinys.
