One of the foundational and most deepening conveyances of Western philosophy is given by the priestess and prophetess Diotima of Mantinea in Plato’s Symposium. She describes an initiatory progression into the realization and experience of the increasingly expansive types of love from the sensual to the eternal. In this video, we consider the practical application of these maturing insights for the student of life and mysticism. Join Hugh McCague as we continue to explore Rosicrucian laws and principles and their application for Self-Mastery and harmonious living.
