Source: ufocon.blogspot.com - Tuesday, August 21, 2018 Copyright 2018, InterAmerica Inc . I haven’t received a book that my pal Bryan Sentes recommended about the early Greek mystery (cultish) rite known as The Eleusis Mystery that certain philosophers practiced [Plato, Aristotle, Iamblichus, and Proclus, among them]. But I have a slew of books that reference the practice and none indicate a favorable tone as the book Bryan recommended is said to do. The Eleusis rite, as obscure as it seems to be, reminds me of the hazy practice of UFO research and study, ufology, which is the haven of “mystagogy” practiced by hordes of inept researchers and ETH ideologues. A reference for those seeking a concise, objective account of The Eleusis Mysteries is The Classical Tradition [Editors Grafton. Most, Settis, The Belnap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 2010, Page 613]. For those seeking an objective concise rendering of Ufological nonsense can find it in the blog writings of Zoam Chomsky [aka Aaron Sakulich] or French skeptic, cognitive psychologist Gilles Fernandez. The Eleusis Mystery rite has been taken apart by various scholars [Wind, 1958] and reactivated by others [Hadot, 2006], and my pal Bryan, a poet foremost, applies heated support for the mysteries as they involved, allegedly, psychedelics: ergot, an hallucinogenic fungus. Bryan would, I think, use Aristotle’s statement – “… those who enter initiations do not learn anything, but experience something” to promote the use All Related
