There are those impious who've endeavoured to insist upon the subjugation of Father Zeus to the Fates. They try to claim that to say as much is more "authentic" or "truer to Hellenism". To prove their case, they refer not to the Cult of Zeus, but to poets such as Homer. pic.twitter.com/w17Dg5AQNg

I beckon thee, o divine Muses; ye sacred bringers of holy harmony and concord, to ye I raise my prayer: bear in me thy fruits most righteous, mould my thoughts to thy beauty, allow thy light illumine my mind, so all that I say may attest to truth. pic.twitter.com/FdBRRcoGDT
We proclaim there must be gods and goddesses because it is only by this difference of divine masculinity and femininity that the multitude developed away from the Supreme (whose existence surpasses these distinctions) could ever come.

It is more than mere preference. Platonism is Soul's divine science towards truth, so the judgement is in what can be argued as nearer to what is true rather than what best suits our sensibilities.

Neoplatonic monism is not pantheism, nor animism, nor any other kind of pure immanence theology. You cannot use these to describe it, not even as attributes; it is none of them. Gods transcend the things they cause for if they were in them, they would be self-caused.

All "philosophic" theories built on premise of Mind's incapacity to apprehend real beings destroy themselves, for if taken to be true, Mind's ideas turn into subjective constructions disconnected from reality, ergo the argument itself needs be unreal for it too is a construction.

Whether or not you think numerology is real (I'm sceptically partial), it is nevertheless important to understand it if you want to grasp the meaning behind the use of numbers in religion. It is especially pertinent today as we are dominated by Yahwism and Hebrews use lots of it.
