In this free first hour, we recap and review Plato’s Republic, and conclude the analysis with a look at the final book of the Republic, Book X, and its description of the afterlife in the esoteric “Myth of Er.” In hour 2 for paid subscribers, I explain the mystery religions, including Orphism and the Eleusinian Mysteries and their connection to Plato and how this is altered in Plato’s later reformation of the Republic into “Magnesia,” with its Nocturnal Council in The Laws, as well as the connection to cymatics and the universe as music.

In this half talk for free, I detail the 8th book of Plato’s Republic where Socrates describes the degeneration of the ideal city into oligarchy, democracy and chaos. Included in book 8 is the esoteric doctrine of the Pythagorean number of man, based in the cosmology of the Timaeus.  Included is an explanation of the metallurgical analogy and the relation to Homer and Achilles’ Shield (in the full talk for paid subscribers).

In one of the most astounding works of the history of Western Literature, Plato’s Republic Book V details one of the deepest secrets of the elite and how it relates to mathematical mysteries.  In this free half of the audio I touch on one of the deepest secrets in all of political history, and decode its relationship to the mysteries of numerology and the ideational realm of the forms.  This is the free half of the paid lecture subscribers get full access to for $4.95 a month at the PayPal link to the right.
