The Dream of Scipio, the Orphic Gold Plates, and the Mithra Liturgy are compared revealing a common cosmovision predicated on the micrcosm. The ancient universe was apparently geocentric, but the ancient microcosm was heliocentric, in that the soul could join the sun and ascend through the stars. This presentatin discusses the cultic background of this cosmovision and suggests possible celestial interpretations of the data.

This Orphic Hymn to Victory is a powerful religious invocation to the Goddess Nike. Written and performed as a central part of the liturgy of the Orphic cult, it was most famously adopted by the syncretic Alexander the Great, who led his army into battle under its inspiration.
Presented here with a stirring instrumental, you are invited to invoke the Goddess for your cause by raising your voice in her honor.
The Ophic Hymn to Victory:
'To Nike,
Fumigation from Manna.
O' powerful Nike, by men desired,
with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired,
Thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell
contending rage and molestation fell.
'Tis thine in battle to confer the crown,
the victor's prize, the mark of sweet renown;
For thou rulest all things, Nike divine!
And glorious strife, and joyful shouts are thine.
Come, mighty Goddess, and thy suppliant bless,
with sparkling eyes, elated with success;
May deeds illustrious thy protection claim,
and find, led on by thee, immortal fame!'

Orphism (more rarely Orphicism) (Ancient Greek: Ὀρφικά) is the name given to a set of religious beliefs and practices originating in the ancient Greek and the Hellenistic world, as well as by the Thracians, associated with literature ascribed to the mythical poet Orpheus, who descended into Hades and returned. Orphics also revered Persephone (who annually descended into Hades for a season and then returned) and Dionysus or Bacchus (who also descended into Hades and returned). Orpheus was said to have invented the Mysteries of Dionysus. Poetry containing distinctly Orphic beliefs has been traced back to the 6th century BC or at least 5th century BC, and graffiti of the 5th century BC apparently refers to "Orphics".
Classical sources, such as Plato, refer to "Orpheus-initiators" (Ὀρφεοτελεσταί), and associated rites, although how far "Orphic" literature in general related to these rites is not certain. As in the Eleusinian mysteries, initiation into Orphic mysteries promised advantages in the afterlife.

Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe. They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle from their ideas about the cosmos and human nature.
The word religion is sometimes used interchangeably with faith or belief system, but religion differs from private belief in that it has a public aspect[citation needed]. Many religions have organized behaviors, clergy, a definition of what constitutes adherence or membership, congregations of laity, regular meetings or services for the purposes of veneration of a deity or for prayer, holy places (either natural or architectural), and/or scriptures. The practice of a religion may also include sermons, commemoration of the activities of a god or gods, sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, music, art, dance, public service, or other aspects of human culture. However, there are examples of religions for which some or many of these aspects of structure, belief, or practices are absent.

The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? ... I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God..." Firmicus Maternus also compared the pagan and Christian communion and could offer no differentiation except the lame comment that what the devotees of Cybele drink is "the cup of doom", what they eat "brings death and punishment", while Christian communion brings salvation and life. http://books.google.it/books?id=INJI4FGeLpYC&pg;=PA765&lpg;=PA765&dq;=Cybele+eucharist+communion&source;=bl&ots;=7YJZrvXh8Z&sig;=D3k3UM1xmh9WysTY9Lh90RfRnBw&hl;=en&sa;=X&ei;=caJuT5-SBbP44QTx6Oy_Ag&redir;_esc=y#v=onepage&q;&f;=false note 5: Mithra & Sol Invictus comunion meal: http://www.farvardyn.com/mithras4.php They carry bread and a mixing-bowl, a cock and a bundle of tapers. Nowhere else is the Mithraic meal portrayed in such detail. The two gods have for a moment joined their earthly followers, who in their turn pay homage to their distinguished guests. In this way the divine presence is manifested while the initiates celebrate the mysteries and follow their example. The place once occupied by Mithras and Sol is now taken by their representatives, the Father of the Community and the Courier of the Sun, who during the solemnities would be wearing the same clothes as Mithras and Sol wore before them and are furnished with the same attributes.... http://www.bizstore.f9.co.uk/intro.html http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/watch-unto-prayer/eucharist.html note 6: Agni (search the word "Agni" within the following page): http://www.kheper.net/topics/Tantra/Shiva.html note 7: Haoma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haoma Soma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma note 8: Atargatis: http://raven1028.multiply.com/journal/item/11331?&show;_interstitial=1&u;=%2Fjournal%2Fitem http://classic.net.bible.org/dictionary.php?word=ATARGATIS see 2 Maccabees 12:21 and 12:26 note 9: Ichthys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_symb.htm note 10: Zeus (Jupiter): http://www.iadb.co.uk/romans/main.php?P=2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_(mythology) note 11: Gods of the underworld http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manes note 12: Sabazius from Orphism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabazios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_Cross note 13: Sandan cult: http://www.cngcoins.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=376 http://www.archive.org/stream/greekherocultsid00farnuoft/greekherocultsid00farnuoft_djvu.txt note 14: about Celsus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsus http://www.anthropoetics.ucla.edu/Ap0301/CELSUS.htm note 15: Against Celsus, by Origen (Contro Celso): http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/origen168.html (note 16 omitted) note 17: Pharmakon Athanasias http://books.google.it/books?id=g0QQtlJSyOEC&pg;=PA277&lpg;=PA277&dq;=pharmakon+athanasias&source;=bl&ots;=SLzMX35cWO&sig;=3BgNoMHtFyZeksTt3imMmNbCrZg&hl;=en&sa;=X&ei;=ScZuT6brGfDV4QS44uW_Ag&redir;_esc=y#v=onepage&q;=pharmakon%20athanasias&f;=false note 18: http://books.google.it/books?id=CMsbXm19LSQC&pg;=PA235&lpg;=PA235&dq;=Ignatius+isis&source;=bl&ots;=1YRFLleJq_&sig;=8edcjfknHRyx2Td9bNtsWFouW6I&hl;=it&sa;=X&ei;=zKYtT5y9OIOSOvWn5P0N&ved;=0CE0Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q;=Ignatius%20isis&f;=false Cardinal Pell (while recently debating Dawkins) confirms they follow a system of metaphysics spelled out by the greek pagans (before any Jesus fable) which the Catholic Church has adopted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EzIZ3KwfFA

Celestial Ascent in Myth and Cult
The Dream of Scipio, the Orphic Gold Plates, and the Mithra Liturgy are compared revealing a common cosmovision predicated on the micrcosm. The ancient universe was apparently geocentric, but the ancient microcosm was heliocentric, in that the soul could join the sun and ascend through the stars. This presentatin discusses the cultic background of this cosmovision and suggests possible celestial interpretations of the data. -

Goddess Nike: The Orphic Hymn to Victory
This Orphic Hymn to Victory is a powerful religious invocation to the Goddess Nike. Written and performed as a central part of the liturgy of the Orphic cult, it was most famously adopted by the syncretic Alexander the Great, who led his army into battle under its inspiration. Presented here with a stirring instrumental, you are invited to invoke the Goddess for your cause by raising your voice in her honor. The Ophic Hymn to Victory: 'To Nike, Fumigation from Manna. O' powerful Nike, by men desired, with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired, Thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell contending rage and molestation fell.

What happens after death.
Everyone at some time in life wonders what happens after death. Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues on via a process known as reincarnation. In the Western world, followers of the Orphic religion in ancient Greece were the first known exponents of reincarnation. They were succeeded by Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato and a host of other philosophers. The Vedic literature of India advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation. The concept is not as alien as it might seem. We can observe that ... -

"He attempted to establish the existence of a prehistoric universal religion and to trace its development into contemporary times. He believed this religion possessed accurate knowledge of universal and cosmic phenomena and held neither priesthood nor institution as intermediary in man's communion with the Divine."

In sky, on earth and in the ocean, yellow gown upon her form. At tombs she celebrates the Bacchic rites with souls of those long dead. Daughter of the Titan Persēs, fond of solitude and deer. By night, protectress of the dogs, she is a most enchanting queen. Barking dogs announce her passing. She's unbound and fair of face. On her head the bull-horn headdress, lady, priestess of the world. Ruler, damsel and our nurse maid, wandering the mountain sides. With her worshippers she's present, maiden at the holy rites.

This Orphic Hymn to Victory is a powerful religious invocation to the Goddess Nike. Written and performed as a central part of the liturgy of the Orphic cult, it was most famously adopted by the syncretic Alexander the Great, who led his army into battle under its inspiration.
Presented here with a stirring instrumental, you are invited to invoke the Goddess for your cause by raising your voice in her honor.
The Ophic Hymn to Victory:
'To Nike,
Fumigation from Manna.
O' powerful Nike, by men desired,
with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired,
Thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell
contending rage and molestation fell.
'Tis thine in battle to confer the crown,
the victor's prize, the mark of sweet renown;
For thou rulest all things, Nike divine!
And glorious strife, and joyful shouts are thine.
Come, mighty Goddess, and thy suppliant bless,
with sparkling eyes, elated with success;
May deeds illustrious thy protection claim,
and find, led on by thee, immortal fame!'

http://www.scribd.com/slavisa_jevtic/d/67522099/6-E-CYBELE-THE-GREAT-MOTHER
pg. 85 - The similarity to the Christian Eucharist is obvious and one wonders whether St. Paul, who received his education in Asia minor and must have known about the mysteries of cybele, was influenced by these ideas when he wrote to the Corinthians: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? ... I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God..."
Firmicus Maternus also compared the pagan and Christian communion and could offer no differentiation except the lame comment that what the devotees of Cybele drink is "the cup of doom", what they eat "brings death and punishment", while Christian communion brings salvation and life.

Everyone at some time in life wonders what happens after death. Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues on via a process known as reincarnation. In the Western world, followers of the Orphic religion in ancient Greece were the first known exponents of reincarnation. They were succeeded by Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato and a host of other philosophers.
The Vedic literature of India advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation.
The concept is not as alien as it might seem. We can observe that we change from one body to another throughout our lifetime. Our body at birth is completely different from our adult body. Yet throughout these changes, the conscious self remains the same. Similarly, the conscious self remains the same at death and transfers from one body to the next in the cycle of reincarnation.
Our present body is the result of a long series of actions and reactions in previous lives. The law that governs this is known as karma: every action has a reaction. Our previous actions have produced our present body, and our current actions will determine our next body.
Only in the human form can we free ourselves from the endless cycle of reincarnation, of birth and death, by re-establishing our eternal, loving relationship with Lord Krishna. As Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita 8.16, “From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one attains to My abode.. never takes birth again.”

This is my translation of the Orphic Hymn to Hekate, which I sing here. Here is the English translation:
Orphic Hymn to Hekate
I call Hekáte of the roadside,
lovely god where three roads meet.
In sky, on earth and in the ocean,
yellow gown upon her form.
At tombs she celebrates the Bacchic
rites with souls of those long dead.
Daughter of the Titan Persēs,
fond of solitude and deer.
By night, protectress of the dogs,
she is a most enchanting queen.
Barking dogs announce her passing.
She's unbound and fair of face.
On her head the bull-horn headdress,
lady, priestess of the world.
Ruler, damsel and our nurse maid,
wandering the mountain sides.
With her worshippers she's present,
maiden at the holy rites.
Always gracious when one worships
with a god-like bull-horned zeal!
Refrain: I call Hekáte of the roadside,
lovely god where three roads meet

Are Persons Brains? The Challenge of Crypto-Cartesianism - P. M. S. Hacker and Raymond Tallis
Platonic dualism was transmitted to early modern philosophy via St Augustine, who married orphic dualism with Christianity. Augustine's conception was one of the fundamental inspirations for Cartesian metaphysics. Cartesian dualism was a three legged stool, the legs of which are a philosophical vision of the mechanical view of physical universe, the reduction of life to mechanism, and an irreducibly private conception of the mental and the identification of the mind with consciousness. Despite the fact that Kant had inflicted grave damage on the Cartesian conception, Cartesian dualism survived in psychology until the rise of behaviourism, and in neuroscience until after the Second World War. Its demise, however, did not lead to the revival of the integrated monism advanced by Aristotle and... -

Reincarnation - The Mechanism and Principle of Reincarnation. Reincarnation is the philosophical or religious concept that the soul or spirit, after biological death, can begin a new life in a new body. This doctrine is a central tenet of the Hindu religion.

Andrew Collins - The Cygnus Mystery
Andrew Collins discusses his book The Cygnus Mystery -- Unlocking the Ancient Secret of Life's Origins in the Cosmos. For 17,000 years the constellation of Cygnus, the celestial swan, otherwise known as the Northern Cross, has fascinated the world. It has defined the layout of ancient stone and earthern structures both in the new world and ancient world. Its cruciform star pattern is probably behind the root symbols of major religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Orphism. Cygnus might even have defined the placement on the ground of the Pyramids of Giza. Why has this one constellation had such an impact on humanity? The answers provided by Andrew are ground-breaking, suggesting that in addition to its importance as the marker of the north celestial pole 17,000 years ago, ... -

Lecture 7 Jewish Mysticism
A close and comparative look at one aspect of Jewish mysticism, we examine in some detail the writing of the Zohar, or "Book of Splendor," the main Kabbalistic text of the Middle Ages. We conclude with a review of the impact of Kabbalah on Christian thought and religion. Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, Ph.D. Western civilization is closely associated with reason and science, and with exceptional accomplishment in art, architecture, music, and literature. Yet it has also been characterized by widespread belief in the supernatural and the irrational—with mystics who have visions of the divine, and with entire movements of people who wait in fervent anticipation of the apocalypse. In addition, Western culture has been the setting for repeated acts of barbarism: persecutions of certain groups s...

Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical concept that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life's actions. This doctrine is a central tenet of the Indian religions. It is also a common belief of various ancient and modern religions such as Spiritism, Theosophy, and Eckankar and is found in many tribal societies around the world, in places such as Siberia, West Africa, North America, and Australia.
Although the majority of sects within the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam do not believe that individuals reincarnate, particular groups within these religions do refer to reincarnation; these groups include the mainstream historical and contemporary followers of Kabbalah, the Cathars, the Druze and the Rosicrucians. The historical relations between these sects and the beliefs about reincarnation that were characteristic of Neoplatonism, Orphism, Hermeticism, Manicheanism and Gnosticism of the Roman era, as well as the Indian religions, has been the subject of recent scholarly research.
In recent decades, many Europeans and North Americans have developed an interest in reincarnation. Contemporary films, books, and popular songs frequently mention reincarnation. In the last decades, academic researchers have begun to explore reincarnation and published reports of children's memories of earlier lives in peer-reviewed journals and books.

The term "paranormal” has existed in the English language since at least 1920.] The word consists of two parts: para and normal. In many definitions, “paranormal” is described as anything that is beyond or contrary to what is deemed scientifically possible. The definition implies that the scientific explanation of the world around us is 'normal' and anything that is above, beyond, or contrary to that is 'para. The paranormal can best be thought of as a subset of pseudoscience. What sets the paranormal apart from other pseudosciences is a reliance on explanations for alleged phenomena that are well outside the bounds of established science. Thus, paranormal phenomena include extrasensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, ghosts, poltergeists, life after death, reincarnation, faith healing, human auras, and so forth. The explanations for these allied phenomena are phrased in vague terms of “psychic forces,” “human energy fields,” and so on.

Orphic Hymn 29 to Persephone (Greek hymn 3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.):
"Hymn to Persephone. Daughter of Zeus, Persephone divine, come, blessed queen, and to these rites incline: only-befotten, Plouton’s [Haides’] honoured wife, O venerable Goddess, source of life: ‘tis thine in earth’s profundities to dwell, fast by the wide and dismal gates of hell. Zeus’ holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Praxidike (avenging Goddess), subterranean queen. The Eumenides’ [Erinyes’] source, fair-haired, whose frame proceeds from Zeus’ ineffable and secret seeds. Mother of Eubouleos [Dionysos-Zagreos], sonorous, divine, and many-formed, the parent of the vine. Associate of the Horai (Seasons), essence bright, all-ruling virgin, bearing heavenly light. With fruits abounding, of a bounteous mind, horned, and alone desired by those of mortal kind. O vernal queen, whom grassy plains delight, sweet to the smell, and pleasing to the sight: whose holy form in budding fruits we view, earth’s vigorous offspring of a various hue: espoused in autumn, life and death alone to wretched mortals from thy power is known: for thine the task , according to thy will, life to produce, and all that lives to kill. Hear, blessed Goddess, send a rich increase of various fruits from earth, with lovely peace: send health with gentle hand, and crown my life with blest abundance, free from noisy strife; last in extreme old age the prey of death, dismiss me willing to the realms beneath, to thy fair palace and the blissful plains where happy spirits dwell, and Plouton [Haides] reigns." Plato, Meno 81a (4th B.C.): "Sokrates : There were certain priests and priestesses who have studied so as to be able to give a reasoned account of their ministry [i.e. the priests of the Mysteries]; and Pindar also and many another poet of heavenly gifts. As to their words, they are these : mark now, if you judge them to be true. They say that the soul of man is immortal, and at one time comes to an end, which is called dying, and at another is born again, but never perishes. Consequently one ought to live all one's life in the utmost holiness. `For from whomsoever Persephone shall accept requital for ancient wrong, the souls of these she restores in the ninth year to the upper sun again; from them arise glorious kings and men of splendid might and surpassing wisdom, and for all remaining time are they called holy heroes amongst mankind.'"

Platonic dualism was transmitted to early modern philosophy via St Augustine, who married orphic dualism with Christianity. Augustine's conception was one of the fundamental inspirations for Cartesian metaphysics. Cartesian dualism was a three legged stool, the legs of which are a philosophical vision of the mechanical view of physical universe, the reduction of life to mechanism, and an irreducibly private conception of the mental and the identification of the mind with consciousness.
Despite the fact that Kant had inflicted grave damage on the Cartesian conception, Cartesian dualism survived in psychology until the rise of behaviourism, and in neuroscience until after the Second World War. Its demise, however, did not lead to the revival of the integrated monism advanced by Aristotle and espoused by Aquinas. Rather it led to a form of degenerate Cartesianism that might be caricatured as brain/body dualism. Although brain/body dualism accepts substance-monism, the psychological predicates Descartes ascribed to the mind are now ascribed to the brain, and the rest of the conceptual structure erected by Descartes is left intact. But replacing ethereal non-matter by grey glutinous matter does not even touch the deep conceptual confusions of Cartesianism.
Philosophers have contributed their share to the confusions by representing the brain as a limiting case of a mutilated human being. Hence the human person is held to be identical with the brain. This, as will be shown, is 'nonsense on stilts'.

Reincarnation - The Mechanism and Principle of Reincarnation.
Reincarnation is the philosophical or religious concept that the soul or spirit, after biological death, can begin a new life in a new body. This doctrine is a central tenet of the Hindu religion. The Buddhist concept of rebirth is also often referred to as reincarnation, and is a belief that was held by such historic figures as Pythagoras, Plato and Socrates. It is also a common belief of various ancient and modern religions such as Spiritism, Theosophy, and Eckankar, and is found as well in many tribal societies around the world, in places such as Australia, East Asia, Siberia, and South America.
Although the majority of sects within the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam do not believe that individuals reincarnate, particular groups within these religions do refer to reincarnation; these groups include the mainstream historical and contemporary followers of Kabbalah, the Cathars, Alawites, the Druze[3] and the Rosicrucians. The historical relations between these sects and the beliefs about reincarnation that were characteristic of Neoplatonism, Orphism, Hermeticism, Manicheanism and Gnosticism of the Roman era, as well as the Indian religions, have been the subject of recent scholarly research.
In recent decades, many Europeans and North Americans have developed an interest in reincarnation. Contemporary films, books, and popular songs frequently mention reincarnation.
_
The word "reincarnation" derives from Latin, literally meaning, "entering the flesh again". The Greek equivalent metempsychosis (μετεμψύχωσις) roughly corresponds to the common English phrase "transmigration of the soul" and also usually connotes reincarnation after death, as either human, animal, though emphasising the continuity of the soul, not the flesh. The term has been used by modern philosophers such as Kurt Gödel and has entered the English language. Another Greek term sometimes used synonymously is palingenesis, "being born again".

Andrew Collins discusses his book The Cygnus Mystery -- Unlocking the Ancient Secret of Life's Origins in the Cosmos.
For 17,000 years the constellation of Cygnus, the celestial swan, otherwise known as the Northern Cross, has fascinated the world. It has defined the layout of ancient stone and earthern structures both in the new world and ancient world. Its cruciform star pattern is probably behind the root symbols of major religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Orphism. Cygnus might even have defined the placement on the ground of the Pyramids of Giza. Why has this one constellation had such an impact on humanity?
The answers provided by Andrew are ground-breaking, suggesting that in addition to its importance as the marker of the north celestial pole 17,000 years ago, Cygnus's placement on the Milky Way made it easy to imagine as the destination of souls in death, and the centre of our cosmological universe. Beyond this is the sheer possibility that inbound cosmic rays from the Cygnus constellation might well have been influencing human evolution for tens of thousands of years, a fact somehow dimly recognised by our distant ancestors.

Orphic Hymn 29 to Persephone (Greek hymn 3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.):
"Hymn to Persephone. Daughter of Zeus, Persephone divine, come, blessed queen, and to these rites incline: only-befotten, Plouton's [Haides'] honoured wife, O venerable Goddess, source of life: 'tis thine in earth's profundities to dwell, fast by the wide and dismal gates of hell. Zeus' holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Praxidike (avenging Goddess), subterranean queen. The Eumenides' [Erinyes'] source, fair-haired, whose frame proceeds from Zeus' ineffable and secret seeds. Mother of Eubouleos [Dionysos-Zagreos], sonorous, divine, and many-formed, the parent of the vine. Associate of the Horai (Seasons), essence bright, all-ruling virgin, bearing heavenly light. With fruits abounding, of a bounteous mind, horned, and alone desired by those of mortal kind. O vernal queen, whom grassy plains delight, sweet to the smell, and pleasing to the sight: whose holy form in budding fruits we view, earth's vigorous offspring of a various hue: espoused in autumn, life and death alone to wretched mortals from thy power is known: for thine the task , according to thy will, life to produce, and all that lives to kill. Hear, blessed Goddess, send a rich increase of various fruits from earth, with lovely peace: send health with gentle hand, and crown my life with blest abundance, free from noisy strife; last in extreme old age the prey of death, dismiss me willing to the realms beneath, to thy fair palace and the blissful plains where happy spirits dwell, and Plouton [Haides] reigns."

Zeus' holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Praxidike (avenging Goddess), subterranean queen. The Eumenides' [Erinyes'] source, fair-haired, whose frame proceeds from Zeus' ineffable and secret seeds. Mother of Eubouleos [Dionysos-Zagreos], sonorous, divine, and many-formed, the parent of the vine. Associate of the Horai (Seasons), essence bright, all-ruling virgin, bearing heavenly light. With fruits abounding, of a bounteous mind, horned, and alone desired by those of mortal kind. O vernal queen, whom grassy plains delight, sweet to the smell, and pleasing to the sight: whose holy form in budding fruits we view, earth's vigorous offspring of a various hue: espoused in autumn, life and death alone to wretched mortals from thy power is known: for thine the task , according to thy will, life to produce, and all that lives to kill. Hear, blessed Goddess, send a rich increase of various fruits from earth, with lovely peace: send health with gentle hand, and crown my life with blest abundance, free from noisy strife; last in extreme old age the prey of death, dismiss me willing to the realms beneath, to thy fair palace and the blissful plains where happy spirits dwell, and Plouton [Haides] reigns."
Plato, Meno 81a (4th B.C.):
"Sokrates : There were certain priests and priestesses who have studied so as to be able to give a reasoned account of their ministry [i.e. the priests of the Mysteries]; and Pindar also and many another poet of heavenly gifts. As to their words, they are these : mark now, if you judge them to be true. They say that the soul of man is immortal, and at one time comes to an end, which is called dying, and at another is born again, but never perishes. Consequently one ought to live all one's life in the utmost holiness. `For from whomsoever Persephone shall accept requital for ancient wrong, the souls of these she restores in the ninth year to the upper sun again; from them arise glorious kings and men of splendid might and surpassing wisdom, and for all remaining time are they called holy heroes amongst mankind.'

"There was a time when the rest of the happy band
they saw beauty shining in brightness
we philosophers following in the train of Zeus,
others in company with other gods;
And then we saw the beatific vision
And were initiated into a Mystery
which may be called most blessed,
celebrated by us in our state of innocence,
before we had any experience of evils to come,
when we were admitted to the sight of apparitions
innocent and simple, calm and happy,
which we saw shining in pure light." (Socrates, in Plato´s Phaedrus, 250)
"For among the many excellent and indeed divine institutions
which your Athens has brought forth and contributed to human life,
none, in my opinion, is better than the Mysteries.
For by their means we have been brought out of
our barbarous and savage mode of life
and educated and refined to a state of civilization;
And as the rites (of the Mysteries) are called "initiations,"
So in very truth we have learned from them the beginnings of life,
And have gained the power not only to live happily,
But also to die with a better hope."( Cicero, Laws II, xiv, 36)
"I am everything there is, everything that ever was, and everything that will ever be. No mortal has ever seen beyond my veil". (Inscription at the Temple of Neith, Goddess of Existence, Egypt, recorded by Plutarch)
"Oh, All-Nature, Queen, Mother of all things, untiring Mother, exalted, creating, She who tames all, Unmentionable, shining, the first born who quenches everything, who brings the Light....Born of yourself, present everywhere and all-knowing...You Blessed One, who makes things grow and rot -- Father and Mother of all things, Universal Worker, you who walk forth in an endless maelstrom, conserving, you who uphold yourself through repeated metamorphosis...I pray to you -- give me peace." (Orphic poem)
The soul wanders around in tiring circles, on scary roads through absolute darkness that lead nowhere; and then, just before the final end to all cruelties the soul experiences panic, perspiration and trembling. Then a wonderful light approaches the soul, it is met by clean spheres and fields that welcomes the soul with sacred words and sacred sights, and there the initiate will, now in its most perfect form, free of bondage, wander about, crowned with laurel, celebrating great festivals with others of sacred, pure souls." (Pluthark)

A close and comparative look at one aspect of Jewish mysticism, we examine in some detail the writing of the Zohar, or "Book of Splendor," the main Kabbalistic text of the Middle Ages. We conclude with a review of the impact of Kabbalah on Christian thought and religion.
Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, Ph.D.
Western civilization is closely associated with reason and science, and with exceptional accomplishment in art, architecture, music, and literature. Yet it has also been characterized by widespread belief in the supernatural and the irrational—with mystics who have visions of the divine, and with entire movements of people who wait in fervent anticipation of the apocalypse.
In addition, Western culture has been the setting for repeated acts of barbarism: persecutions of certain groups such as Jews, or accused heretics and witches.
Why has this been the case?
This two-part series invites you to consider what might be called the "underbelly" of Western society, a complex mixture of deeply embedded beliefs and unsettling social forces that has given rise to our greatest saints and our most shameful acts. The "terror of history," according to Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, is a deeply held belief—dating from the ancient Greeks to Nietzsche and beyond—that the world is essentially about disorder and emptiness, and that human beings live constantly on the edge of doom.
We see history as terrifying, so we try to escape it. One strategy is to withdraw through transcendental experiences. Another, unfortunately, is to shift our fears onto scapegoats such as lepers, nonconformists, and other outsiders whom we choose to blame for "the catastrophe of our existence," as Professor Ruiz puts it.
