* if the law allowed a men to strike a slave, a metic or a freedman (=a freed slave), many times he would strike an Athenian believing him to be a slave; for as to dress people are not distinguished at all in Athens from slaves and metics, nor even in appearance”.

This, I think, is a balanced description of slavery in ancient Athens: The adult male population in the city-state of Athens was calculated as follows: fifty thousand citizens, twenty-five thousand resident aliens, one hundred thousand slaves (...) Slaves enjoyed no rights, and were the...

I trust your guidance, thanks.

But do you believe that Demons can act as Satgurus? I agree with you, in fact I believe that we need restraint in meditation and that we should follow Gods signaling, sometimes I have dreams where it is suggested that I do a specific meditative practice and by doing it I notice that it was...

I have the impression that nowadays the most likely thing to do is to impoverish oneself by traveling to India, to receive one's deeksha along with 50 other people from a guru who was initiated in the mountains by Babaji. Say goodbye to him a week later and then return to the West enlightened.

Pardon, in the first thread I was actually referring to this post: https://ancient-forums.com/threads/satan-means-truth-in-slavic-language.79927/

Tra l'altro, rileggendo il mio stesso post, noto similitudine, o meglio dire, identità, tra questo racconto e il mito di Decaulione e Pirra

Also, If one already has a desk job, I believe it to be really dangerous to practice a lot of daily hours of seated meditation. I believe that the physical body should always have priority, especially considering what kind of bodies modern society is churning out. I've read that the ideal is to...

Possibili libri sull'argomento sono: i libri di Chistopher Dunn, Malkowsky - Ancient Egypt 39000 BCE, Scott Creighton -The Great Pyramid Void Enigma. Inoltre, le ricerche del professor Robert Schoch per la retrodatazione della Sfinge sulla base di Criteri idro-geologici. E recentemente ho letto...

GGF, you are probably referring to the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, which I believe are New Age crap. Tabula Smaragdina wich I quoted is legit, poetic and alchemical. If you are intrested in alchemy the most beautiful book I saw is Rosarium Philosophorum, look at its pictures...

But aren't the Emerald Tablet the same as Tabula Smaragdina? In that case read it: "Tis true without lying, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracle of one only thing. And as all things have...

Mi ricorda molto il Somnium Scipionis di Cicerone, da quello che scrivi.

On the forums I read about yoga nidra, and a technique supposedly used by militaries where you visualize you are in a boat, then in an hammock and then void. If you struggle fall asleep self-hypnosis and autosuggestion should resolve the problem in less than a month. Also sleeping in total...
