"GOD" OF ALL, "GOD" IN ALL
"GOD" OF ALL, "GOD" IN ALL
Plotinus cites Plato and Aristotle in THE ENNEADS. Plato cited Egypt. Aristotle cited Egypt and Plato, his teacher. Both wise men who were, yet are, foundation stones of Greek Philosophy, studied , lived in Egypt.
The Jews come from Egypt, wrote the Torah, their sacred book, and claim "Israel" that once was Egypt.
The Bible was written in Egypt.
The Muslims preserved the works of Plato, Aristotle, and many others and disseminated them to mankind after their ascent into power after the 7th century rise of Muhammad, as they spread their sacred Qur'an.
So, neo-Platonism and "religion," whether Jewish, Christian or Islam all derive largely from Egyptians.
Since all routes lead back to Egypt whether via Philosophy or Religion, it may be most prudential to study Egypt, to return to the, to OUR common source; in order to acquire some means of extrication from plethora of current complications, canards clouding understanding the interpretations of ancient Egyptian literature, mathematics, truths, proofs, philosophy, crafts.
This restorative focus upon Egypt does not exclude other civilizations or persons in other lands or times, since all emanate from and are ever immersed in the ineffable essence of our common "God" by whatever name, creed or culture; who is God of all, God in all, and God to us all.
