| Socrates Socrates taught us not only logic, but so much about love and the gods. He, like Origen, was seen as a threat by the ruling classes. He stood up against political rhetoric and died for his refusal to bring blood offerings to the ruling class’s pagan gods. His reputation as a Great Teacher was tainted, to the point that most people see him as only a figment of Plato’s imagination. Origen’s 10 book Stromata reconciled the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles to those of Socrates and the Ionian Greeks. This too is nearly totally lost to us. |

Dear Shawn,
Thank you so much for these words. Now I could understand what was behind your words. You were perfect in your explanation to me. I could not only have the knowledge you were trying (successfully) to transmit but what is more effective to me, I could realize their real meaning (in my body) through an impression without words. Please, continue sharing your knowledge with me. I do need it. Thank you once more. Gabriela PS. It makes all the difference to read the English version or the German one. Could you please send me the references of this passage of the Symposium? Now I could find also French and a Portuguese version to compare them.
