Quoted By: >>7286881 >>7287484 >>7287597 >>7287847 >>7288084

Plato, in his dialogue Phaedrus (sections 246a–254e), uses the Chariot Allegory to explain his view of the human soul. He does this in the dialogue through the character of Socrates, who uses it in a discussion of the merit of Love as "divine madness".

Plato paints the picture of a Charioteer (Greek: ἡνίοχος) driving a chariot pulled by two winged horses:

The Charioteer directs the entire chariot/soul, trying to stop the horses from going different ways, and to proceed towards enlightenment.

>>7286386

An alchemist is a person versed in the art of alchemy

Alchemy is still practiced today by a few

A large number of alchemists are known from the thousands of surviving alchemical manuscripts and books

Alchemy has had a long-standing relationship with art, seen both in alchemical texts and in mainstream entertainment. Literary alchemy appears throughout history

Visual artists had a similar relationship with alchemy.

...worked with the alchemists themselves or integrated alchemical thought or symbols in their work.

Music was also present in the works of alchemists and continues to influence popular performers

Some contemporary artists use alchemy as inspiring subject matter, or use alchemical symbols in their work.

...alchemical thinking remains central.
In Our Time - History of Alchemy

https://youtu.be/UgwyVqEGj1k

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of Alchemy, the ancient science of transformations. The most famous alchemical text is the Emerald Tablet, written around 500BC and attributed to the mythical Egyptian figure of Hermes Trismegistus. Among its twelve lines are the essential words - “as above, so below".

Quoted By: >>7286853 >>7287234 >>7287640

Venus and Jupiter are bright. They rank as the third-brightest and fourth-brightest celestial bodies in all the heavens, respectively, after the sun and moon.

As we mentioned above, Venus and Jupiter are very, very bright.

Venus and Jupiter are close on October 26 and for some mornings to come!

Venus’ angular distance from the sun – its greatest distance from the sunrise – is on October 26, 2015.

At this morning elongation of Venus, the planet is 47 degrees west of the sun, and in the eastern sky before dawn.

Hermathena or Hermathene

representing the Greek gods Hermes and Athena

Hermes is identified with the Roman god Mercury

It was natural to see these two deities unified or fused as one form: the Greek god Hermes presided over eloquence, the goddess Athena over crafts and the sciences

Hermes and Athena share or 'double' each other's functions, and some of their powers are alternate and related versions of the same quality. For example, each god embodies the kind of clever intelligence or metis

>light

Space-time patterns are transformed into spectrum-based waveforms that encode amplitudes, frequencies, as well as the relationships among their phases. The holonomic brain can process this type of cognition because it can process holographic wave-interference patterns and store information in beams of light.

An analogy of holonomic brain theory is the way sunlight illuminates objects in the visual field of an observer.
