Jehovah: The First Nazi

Febbraio 26th, 2020 No Comments   Posted in Dacia Iluministă

Jehovah: The First Nazi (The Anti-Christian Series Book 8) by [Weishaupt, Adam]

Jehovah: The First Nazi

 

This may be the most controversial book ever published. It does the unthinkable: it puts God on trial for his life for conspiracy against the human race, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. All of the charges that were brought against the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials could equally be leveled against God. All of the atrocities of the Holocaust are prefigured in the Jewish Bible, meaning that, morally, Judaism must be put in the dock just as Nazism was.
The evidence against God, furnished by direct quotations from the Bible, is overwhelming and unarguable. His guilt can be established beyond any reasonable doubt. This monster attempted to exterminate the entire human race in the event known as The Flood. He allowed eight chosen people to survive: Noah and his family. So, given that the survivors were hand-picked by him, why has humanity again fallen into total evil? This time it was nothing to do with Adam and Eve. This time it was entirely God’s responsibility and choice.
The answer to the riddle is that God himself is irredeemably evil. The ancient Gnostics long ago concluded that the God of the Old Testament was the Devil. Why has the rest of the world been so slow on the uptake?
The Pythagorean Illuminati, the oldest secret society on earth, are Gnostics and here they present the prosecution case against the most evil being in history: Jehovah, the Torture God, the Terror God, Satan himself.
Do not read this book if you are an Abrahamist. This book is only for rational, intelligent, open-minded people prepared to accept facts. The “facts” are those presented in the Bible and believed by billions. They show that for thousands of years, humanity has been worshiping not God but the Devil.

This book is written in polemical style, in keeping with the need for humanity to be shocked into waking up to the dreadful truth at the heart of our world. Evil is everywhere because all Abrahamists are Devil-worshipers. You don’t believe us? Read the case for the prosecution. Change your life. Turn to the light of the True God – Abraxas, the Mathematical God of Reason.
***
A question for all Christians … What could Satan do to humanity that would actually be worse than what the Christian God did to humanity?
The Christian God sentenced the whole of humanity to hell because of “Original Sin”.
The Christian God drowned the world apart from Noah and his Ark.
The Christian God stole the land of the Canaanites to give it to his Chosen People.
The Christian God made some people the Chosen People, and therefore everyone else the damned.
The Christian God exterminated the innocent firstborn of Egypt.
The Christian God wiped out Job’s family for a bet.
The Christian God ordered Abraham to murder his son to prove his absolute obedience.
The Christian God accepted Jephthah’s human sacrifice of his virgin daughter.
The Christian God will judge everyone, and everyone who is not his slavish follower will be punished forever in hell.

And so on, and so on, one atrocity and sickening crime after another.

Go on, all you Christians. Specify how Satan could be more of a monster to and threat to humanity than your own God!

666

Febbraio 22nd, 2020 No Comments   Posted in Dacia Iluministă

MAGIC SQUARE OF 6×6 – Magic Sums of 111 and Solar Symbol

The Magic Square of 6×6,
having the sum of all its numbers (Sigma 36) adding to 666
has always been a Solar Glyph,
a veritable and secret pin number or access code
to enter another solar system or dimension or galaxy,
via the Triplet 111 Harmonic.
This is one reason why 666 was demonized,
because it is really a representation of the light,
to create fear and not love,
to scare you from enter the Higher Worlds,
or from accessing your DNA.

On a deeper level, when you draw a line from 1 to 2 to 3 etc
to the last number 36, you arrive at a special Yantra or pattern,
symbolically you are looking for Order amidst the apparent Chaos,
you are translating Number Into Art,
but when you superimpose this pattern upon itself 4 times,
at angles of 90 degrees
you get the famous, most anointed, holy symbol of the Swaztika!
And this is just the beginning of The Million Year War.

Sin for Salvation

The New Atlantis:

Sin for Salvation

The world is a system of control. At all times, the world rulers seek to impose their will on the ordinary people through laws, rules, commandments, regulations, codes of conduct, orders, hierarchies, “legitimate” authority. If necessary, they will use force to uphold their laws, but that involves expense, trouble and potential dangers, so they desire instead that the people should internalise their panoply of control and obey it robotically. That way, the rulers enjoy all of the benefits of control without having to expend time and effort enforcing it. They are free to indulge themselves and take maximum advantage of the subjugated people. Their task, then, is to work out how to manipulate people into internalising the masters’ rules of the game so that they don their chains voluntarily. They have become grand masters at making the puppets dance.

So, if the people want to be free, what must they do? They have to shed the masters’ matrix of control – the laws that have been brainwashed into them from birth and the rules that are drilled into them every day – and then they will be able to see through the nexus of tyranny that the rulers have created to trap them.

When the people, en masse, no longer obey the laws of the controllers then the controllers have lost. Even with the army and police on their side, the controllers do not have sufficient resources to quell mass uprisings. That is their greatest fear. So, the princes of the world have become experts in “legitimising” their system of control. If the people buy into it then the controllers have won. In the West, “democracy”, religion and capitalism are the main tools to control the masses. In a democracy, the people vote for the system of control that’s imposed on them, so they have become accomplices in it and have no right to object. They are as culpable for the laws as the lawmakers themselves, or so the democratic logic goes. (In fact, casting a vote has nothing in common with lawmaking). With religion, “God” imposes commandments and everyone is obliged to obey the divine will or suffer the consequences: eternal damnation (i.e. this system seeks to terrify people into submission). As for capitalism, that’s designed to make people obsessed with consumerism, status and materialism; to keep the rats in the race, stuck forever in the rat trap.

The Gnostic teaching of “Sin for Salvation” is the antidote to all systems of control. Sin for Salvation is about defying the control matrix of the oppressors. Sin for Salvation breaks the brainwashing of the Power Elite.

………………………………………………………………

The Antidote to the Control Matrix

It’s easy to participate in the system of the controllers. Most people do it every day in every part of their lives. It takes effort and courage to break out.

The ancient Gnostics adopted two strategies for dealing with the controlling world of the Demiurge: ascetism or licentiousness. The ascetic approach was to withdraw from the world. They ate and drank little, needed little money, didn’t have conventional homes or jobs, avoided contact with members of the mainstream religions. They took themselves “off the grid”, so to speak. You can’t be controlled by a system in which you don’t participate.

The licentious approach is “Sin for Salvation” – deliberately breaking the rules of the controllers, purposely misusing and abusing the laws of the Demiurge. With this approach, you lose all fear of the controllers’ system.

The great Gnostic thinker Carpocrates was the main advocate of Sin for Salvation. Since the princes of the world were the servants of Satan then the disciples of Carprocrates felt no necessity to obey their rules. They mocked the restrictions imposed on Christians and Jews. In turn, they were accused of doing whatever is “irreligious and impious” and for holding that good and bad are matters of human opinion.

Carpocrates actively encouraged the stoking of the forbidden fires of desire, so as to reduce them to ashes. His disciples rejected marriage and private property and engaged in sex orgies and magic rituals. Carpocrates, making use of the secret Gospel of Mark, introduced mind-altering, ecstatic rituals designed to put disciples in the right mind to attain higher realities. The Carpocratians sought xenophrenic (strange-minded) states. Wallow in sensuality in order to attain perfection, Carpocrates preached. Once a man has received gnosis he can no longer sin. If he has become God, he is quite incapable of sinning.

Encratism is the practice of sexual restraint in erotic situations to increase the possibility of ecstatic states and gnosis. It is sex without the climax. The initiate was allowed sexual intimacy with a member of the opposite sex, but not consummation. The idea was to subject the initiate to maximum temptation, the prospect of the greatest pleasure, yet to require the initiate to resist, just as he should resist all of the temptations and seductions of the Demiurge’s world. If a male initiate penetrated a female partner, he was to deny himself orgasm.

Peccatism (from the Latin peccatum: sin) is the doctrine that sin should be indulged and is the basis of Sin for Salvation. There is a limited stock of sins, and these should be progressively exhausted. The law of the Demiurge should be undermined by intentional excess.

Carpocratians considered that souls had been tempted into Satan’s evil material world by the prospect of carnal delights and worldly pleasures. Only by sinning – by over-indulging in these temptations, by exploring them in every conceivable way – could the soul be sated and purged of all further interest. Only when the soul had grown weary of the superficial pleasures offered by Satan’s world could it resume a spiritual state sufficient to allow it to be admitted to the realm of light. You should experience everything that life has to offer so that you might grow weary of it, and be released from its spell.

Gnostic sects were regularly condemned for being licentious, immoral, and celebrating crime and vice. Gnostics were regarded as libertines, outlaws, and rebels. They were described as “antinomians” – those against the established law.

The Gnostic leader Basilides declared: “The perpetration of any voluptuous act whatever is a matter of indifference.”

A group of Gnostics called Borborites – the “filthy ones” – were alleged to wallow in moral and physical filth, to smear themselves with menstrual blood, semen, faeces and even afterbirth.

Prohibition A features a Sin for Salvation nightclub in Manhattan. The Millionaires’ Death Club features a Sin for Salvation ceremony involving a miraculous drug called NexS. The Last Bling King describes a complete rejection of all the values and rules of the Power Elite.

A famous anarchist slogan – “God is Evil” – is pure Gnosticism. To realise that the creator of this corrupt, malevolent world is the opposite of the “perfect” being that Christians, Jews and Muslims proclaim as the creator is the first step in the process of personal and public liberation. We have had three and a half thousand years of Judaism, two thousand years of Christianity and fourteen hundred years of Islam. Is the world a good place? Is it just and fair? Do people treat each other well? If these religions haven’t achieved a good world by now, why would anyone think they’re ever going to achieve it? So only stupid or wicked people would continue to follow these failed religions. The reason for their failure could scarcely be more obvious – they are Satanic religions reflecting the mind of the world’s malign creator. They are not designed to effect a good world, but the opposite.

And once you realise that the God of this world is a false God whose deluded supporters trumpet him as true, you will just as quickly realise that all of the earthly institutions that hold themselves up as exemplars of the “good” are equally false. Kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers, popes, priests, rabbis and imams, “democracy” and “freedom”, free market capitalism…everything you have been told is true is false, just as the creator is not God but Satan.

The Gnostic message is about waking people up and making them see the truth of this world. Sin for Salvation, where a person consciously and deliberately flouts the conventions and rules of this godforsaken earth, is a primary means of liberation, of experiencing a visceral release from the controllers of this false world. “Sin” is their definition, not God’s. Never believe their definitions.

It’s up to you, not them, to determine good and evil, and what you come up with will reflect whether you are a good or bad person. Many of the insanely greedy captains of Wall Street are practising Jews and Christians. Doesn’t that say all you need to know about Judaism and Christianity? These are religions of greed and selfishness, which is why they attract greedy and selfish people. Illumination is the religion that provides the antidote.

One of the primary aims of Illumination is to eliminate the scope for greed by establishing an economic system where the wealth of everyone falls within a narrow range. At the moment, the wealthiest people in the world are hundreds of millions of times richer than the poorest. Imagine a world where the richest man was no more than twenty times wealthier than the poorest: a moral world, a just world, a more equal world, a world where the rich would not have disproportionate power and could not trample over the weak. They – the controllers of the world – will do everything to sabotage this religion. They have worked for millennia to stamp out Illumination and the Illuminati, but we are still here and our day will come when good people realise they have been the victims of a grotesque Satanic con perpetrated by the likes of Moses, Jesus and Mohammed.

The Gnostic sage Marcion preached that the Old Testament was nothing but a sickening catalogue of the Demiurge’s hatred, violence and crimes against humanity. It’s remarkable that a book so evil could ever have been considered “good”. The Jehovah that appears in the Old Testament is a deranged, psychotic tyrant wallowing in human misery and inflicting as much pain as he can contrive.

Sin for Salvation is the road to redemption. It opens your eyes to the truth. Reject the Old World Order’s system of control. Find your own paths through life. An experiment in Europe showed that people drive better when traffic lights (systems of control) are removed. So it is with sin. People will be more moral when all the codes of morality are turned off and people are able to use their own judgement to decide what is right and wrong.

Usually, the sexual aspect of Sin for Salvation is emphasised, as it is here, but in fact Sin for Salvation applies to everything. It’s a mindset. It’s about not buying into the laws and attitudes of those who would control you. It’s about having an open mind about what “sin” actually is. It’s about not automatically subscribing to someone else’s conception of sin. There are many sins in this world – such as the infinite greed of Wall Street bankers and their ilk – that are held up as virtues and qualities to be emulated. Always be on the lookout for sins that masquerade as goodness. Always be on the lookout for healthy activities that are condemned as sinful.

The captains of Wall Street break no laws when they bury their snouts in the money trough – because they themselves constructed the laws. But we all know that these people are morally wrong. We all know they should be stopped. So why aren’t we doing something? The law is not there to protect us but to prevent us from acting against them.

Arthur Rimbaud, the radical and extraordinary 19th Century French poet, came into contact with the French chapter of the Illuminati and they inspired him to seek his higher self.

Rimbaud famously said, “The poet becomes a seer through a long, immense, and reasoned derangement of all the senses.” “…[he becomes] the great invalid, the great criminal, the great damned – and the supreme Sage!”

Rimbaud was one of the least conventional men in history. He paid no heed at all to the controllers.

The Marquis de Sade, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Aleister Crowley, Antonin Artaud, William Blake are all other good examples of people who rejected the conventions of society. They are role models for those seeking freedom from the control matrix. Postmodernism: deconstruction, the death of the grand narrative, the death of the author, the death of art, the death of God, the death of the real, hyperreality, the “other”, “excluded histories” – it all helps to challenge the dominance of the prevailing control narrative. Everyone should become a postmodernist.

Hieronymus Bosch’s famous painting The Garden of Earthly Delights is a symbolic depiction of a Sin for Salvation ceremony.

The Illuminati promote the two Gnostic paths: asceticism and licentiousness. Some members favour one over the other; some alternate between the two. Which do you prefer?

So, it’s up to you. Find the ways that allow you to escape the control matrix of the Old World Order. Embrace transgression: it’s only a label. Practise sex magic if that’s what you like. Participate in Dionysian rites. The OWO have always hated unrestrained sexual activity because of its power to disrupt networks of control. We live in a highly sexualised society and yet it’s “capitalist” sex – used for making money – rather than true, raw, passionate sex. In fact, the OWO want to swamp us with images of sex that make us part with our money, but they don’t want us to actually have sex, or rather they want us to have sex within the narrow confines of “family and religion”. It’s all part of their control system.

Arguably, we have never lived in a more repressed and Puritanical society. Baudrillard said that Disneyland was built to conceal the fact that the whole of America is now an infantilised fantasy world. In the case of sex, sexual imagery is deployed everywhere to conceal the fact that humanity has never been more anti-sex. How is it possible to have sex “scandals” in a world so apparently awash with sex and with such an allegedly liberal attitude towards sex? In ancient Greece and Rome, orgies, pornography and promiscuity were taken for granted. Many cultures throughout history, especially those concerned with liberation, have embraced extreme sexuality. In the 1960s, hippies told everyone to make love, not war. Where are the hippies now? We certainly know where the wars are. The control matrix loves war and hates sex. The hippies are now the generals. Isn’t that the way the world works?

“Thou Shalt Not,” the controllers say.

“Thou Shalt, Thou Shalt, Thou Shalt, Thou Shalt, Thou Shalt,” we say.

Reject their Mind Control.

Their sins are false.

Sin for Salvation.

The New Left

The New Left has to explicitly oppose two defining tropes of the liberal left, namely multiculturalism and political correctness, which derive from the New Age ideology of Love and Light, relativism and subjectivism … everyone has their own experiences, own path and own truth.

Plainly, if there is no Truth, then any truth claim is as valid as any other since there is no objective standard with which to pass judgment on them.

The whole basis of liberal leftism is that no one is allowed to judge the beliefs and cultural practices of others. By contrast, the whole basis of evolution, progress, advancement, enlightenment is that people can and must judge and overcome irrationalism, illogic, superstition, mysticism, faith, and endarkenment.

We would never have had the Enlightenment had people not judged and found wanting monarchs, nobles, religions, laws, entrenched customs and practices, beliefs, traditions, accepted ways of doing things.

The liberal left has anathematized judgment. How often do you hear liberals promoting “non-judgmental living in the moment”, associated with meditation and mindfulness? Hence they have anathematized human progress.

Judgment is the prerequisite for advancement. We must judge what is wrong, false, backward, negative, counterproductive, blocking progress … and get rid of it. That means we must judge people’s religious beliefs and their cultural practices. As soon as you do that, you have ceased to be multicultural and politically correct.

The New Left, not the regressive Liberal Left, is defined by its commitment to progress, advancement, the dialectic, evolution – to immanentizing the eschaton – and that means it is necessarily in the business of analyzing everything in the world and passing judgment on whether it is progressive or regressive.

All regressive traditions, religions, practices, customs, cultures must not be tolerated. They must be eradicated! Only then shall humanity progress. A culture based on reason and logic will eliminate all regressive things in just one generation.

Studies have shown that a tipping point is achieved when 10% of the population have a radically new view. Others see where the wind is blowing and quickly fall in line. Look at the rise of Islam. For many years, it was going nowhere. Then it developed momentum, got its 10% and very shortly afterwards the whole region was Islamic. Just like that!

The trouble with Islam is that it was and is a disastrous ideology, totally hostile to human progress because its message is one of total submission to an imaginary Extraterrestrial called “Allah.”

The world does not advance thanks to ancient faiths and superstitions. It advances despite them, and it would advance much faster if these backward systems did not exist at all.

The New Left must campaign against the Liberal Left – with its absurd acceptance of failure and retardation, all in the name of its ideological refusal to pass judgment – and end the nightmare of New Age postmodernism, subjectivism and relativism, non-judgment, multiculturalism, political correctness and liberalism.

The Radical Left – which is all about the advancement of the human race – has been betrayed by the Liberal Left, which is all about tolerating everything, judging nothing, accepting everything, and doing nothing but promoting insane identity politics, where all that matters is what anyone declares their identity to be, which is never to be judged, criticized or condemned in any way, no matter how pernicious it is and how much it obstructs human progress.

The Radical Left cannot take on the right until it has first destroyed the Liberal Left with its demented New Age drivel about elves (!), Starseeds, otherkins and all the other mind-rot that makes it impossible for humanity to achieve its destiny.

The Liberal Left inhabits a fantasy world of “self expression” that is 100% opposed to reason, logic, mathematics, science and philosophy. The Liberal Left is entirely about Mythos and is repulsed by Logos. The Liberal Left endorses negative liberty and opposes the awesome power of the State.

The Radical Left endorses positive liberty and seeks to harness the power of the State to transform the State into a vehicle for optimizing every citizen in the State. You cannot have an optimized human race where people uncritically believe in fairies, elves, Starseeds, otherkins, invisible sky gods, astrology, prophets, gurus, sacred scriptures, the “Secret”, the law of attraction, and all the rest of the lunatic nonsense and magical thinking that infects 100% of the Liberal Left.

Robespierre said, “The secret of liberty is to enlighten men, as that of tyranny is to keep them in ignorance.”

Multiculturalism is about keeping ignorant people ignorant, hence is pure tyranny.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau said that some people must be forced to be free. He was absolutely right. Billions of people have been forced to be unfree by the tyrannical beliefs with which they have been brainwashed since birth. How are they to be freed if not by an effort every bit as serious as that which made them unfree to begin with?

Raise the Dragon. No quarter to the liberal morons.

If you are liberal, you are every bit as guilty as the conservatives.

Delenda est Carthago.

Defining love philosophically.

Febbraio 15th, 2020 No Comments   Posted in Dacia Iluministă

 

Apollodorus relates to an unnamed companion a story he heard from Aristodemus about a symposium, or dinner party, held in honor of the playwright Agathon. Besides Aristodemus and Agathon, the guests include Agathon’s lover Pausanias, the doctor Eryximachus, the great comic poet Aristophanes, and the young Phaedrus. Socrates arrives late, having been lost in thought on a neighboring porch. Once they have finished eating, Eryximachus proposes that, instead of the usual entertainments, the guests should take turns giving speeches in praise of the god of Love.

Phaedrus speaks first, praising Love as the oldest of all the gods and the one that does the most to promote virtue in people. Pausanias speaks next, distinguishing the base desires involved in Common Love from the purity of Heavenly Love, which only ever exists between a man and a boy. In exchange for sexual gratification from the boy, the man acts as a mentor, teaching him wisdom and virtue. Eryximachus, the third speaker, argues that Love promotes order and moderation, not only in people but also in all things. Thus, Love can exist in such fields as music and medicine.

Aristophanes is the next to speak, and he presents his conception of Love in the form of a myth. Humans once had four legs, four arms, two heads, and so on, he says. Some were male, with two sets of male sexual organs; some were females; and some were hermaphrodites, with one set each of male and female sexual organs. We were twice the people we are now, and the gods were jealous, afraid we would overthrow them. Zeus decided to cut us in half to reduce our power, and ever since we have been running all over the earth trying to rejoin with our other half. When we do, we cling to that other half with all our might, and we call this Love.

Agathon speaks next, giving an elaborate and flowery speech about Love, which he describes as young, sensitive, beautiful, and wise. All our virtues are gifts that we receive from this god. Socrates questions Agathon, doubting his speech and suggesting that Agathon has described the object of Love, not Love itself.

To correct him, Socrates explains he once held the same beliefs until he met Diotima of Mantinea, a wise woman who taught him everything he knows about Love. According to Diotima, Love is neither a god nor a mortal but rather a spirit born of a coupling between Resource and Poverty. Love itself is not wise or beautiful and does not have any of the other attributes Agathon ascribed to it. Rather, it is the desire for all these things. As such, Love wishes to give birth to Beauty, and so Diotima associates Love with pregnancy and reproduction. Some seek to reproduce sexually, while other seek to give birth to ideas, the children of their minds. We first learn about Beauty by seeing and desiring beautiful people or objects, but our desire for Beauty can be gradually refined until ultimately we love Beauty itself, which is the highest love there is.

As Socrates concludes his speech, the famous politician Alcibiades bursts in completely drunk. He complains that he has consistently tried to seduce Socrates in order to glean wisdom from him but that Socrates resists any kind of sexual advances. Shortly thereafter, more revelers arrive and the party descends into drunken chaos. When Aristodemus wakes up the next morning, he sees Socrates, Agathon, and Aristophanes still engaged in sober conversation. Eventually, Agathon and Aristophanes fall asleep, and Socrates leaves and goes about his daily business.
Analysis

In the Symposium, Plato presents the love of wisdom as the highest form of love and philosophy as a refinement of our sexual urges that leads us to desire wisdom over sex. That is, we do not seek wisdom by first suppressing sexual desire and other distractions but rather by refining that desire and training it on a higher purpose. Plato sets his dialogue at a symposium, which was one of the highlights of Athenian social life, and amidst a discussion about Love to show us that philosophy is not removed from the business of everyday life. On the contrary, philosophy is the highest expression of the loves and desires that motivate us in everyday activities. If we could see things clearly, Plato suggests, we would see that our attraction to beautiful people or good music or exciting movies is really an attraction to Beauty itself and that philosophy is the most direct route to getting at what we most desire.

Diotima describes love as the pursuit of beauty in a gradual ascent from the particular to the general, culminating in an understanding of the Form of Beauty. Even the most ignorant soul is drawn to beauty on some level. What most of us don’t realize, she suggests, is that what attracts us to a beautiful person, for instance, is that we perceive in that person an idea of the greater Form of Beauty. That is, we are attracted not to the person but to the beauty in the person. If our love is keen enough, we will not be satisfied by beautiful people but will seek out beauty in more generalized forms: in minds, in the structure of a well-ordered state, and ultimately in the Form of Beauty itself, the most generalized form that beauty takes. Once we have come to grasp the Form of Beauty, we will have grasped the fundamental truth that the reality of our experience is just a shadow world compared with the ideal, eternal, and unchanging world of Forms. This Theory of Forms is presented in greater detail in the Phaedo and the Republic. Here, we get the hint that the way to an understanding of Forms is through a love of beauty.
The dialogue’s structure mirrors the progression Diotima describes of pursuing beauty in increasingly refined and generalized forms. Each speech in the dialogue takes us a step closer to understanding the true nature of love. Phaedrus gives us a simple enthusiasm for the value of love; Pausanias distinguishes between good and bad forms of love; Eryximachus expands the definition to cover other fields of inquiry; Aristophanes gives us a delightful account of the urgency of love; and Agathon applies the refined art of rhetoric to understanding love. Only by first considering and seeing the limitations in these earlier speeches can we then appreciate the importance of Socrates’ speech. We should also note that, in Eryximachus, Aristophanes, and Agathon, we have representatives of medicine, comedy, and tragedy, all three of which are important components of a healthy life. By having Socrates trump these other three, Plato is suggesting that philosophy is more important to our well-being than these other disciplines.
The original Greek text contains a number of untranslatable puns that enhance our understanding of the relationship between love, desire, and philosophy. The Greek word eros, translated as “love,” is also the root of our word erotic and can be used in Greek to describe sexual desire. Socrates is thus being coy when he explains that Diotima taught him everything he knows about eros, a coyness that is enhanced when we discover that Diotima of Mantinea was the name of a well-known temple prostitute in ancient Greece. The implication is that Socrates came to Diotima seeking sex, but she instead taught him about beauty and wisdom. This implication further reinforces the suggestion that the desire for wisdom is a refinement, and not a denial, of our desire for sex. In the dialogue, Diotima becomes the model of Beauty, which every lover seeks, while Socrates becomes the model of Love, being himself neither beautiful nor satisfied but constantly seeking more. This picture of Socrates the lover further plays on the word philosopher, which literally means “lover of wisdom.”
