Neoplatonism

Plato as interpreted by Plotinus (205–270 CE) a student of Ammonius Saccas. His disciple Porphyry compiled an edition of the teachings of Plotinus, the Enneads, which expounds the essentials of neoplatonism. Iamblichus, a student of Porphyry, became its most influential exponent. The philosophy was systematised by Proclus, perhaps the most gifted philosopher of late antiquity. The phenomenal world is seen as a reflection of a real, noumenal world which exists in the mind of the world-soul, an emanation of the divine mind, the Nous, itself an emanation of the One, the Absolute. Individual souls are also emanations, whose ultimate destiny is to be reunited with the One. Stars and planets are not seen as causes, but rather ensouled emanations, reflecting the nature of things as signs and symbols. True human happiness is to be found through ecstatic union with the One, a type of enlightenment, of liberation, as seen in Yoga, Tantra, Vedanta and Buddhism. Neoplatonism has had a powerful and enduring influence on Astrology, Hermetic Esotericism, Qabala, Christianity, Gnosticism, Judaism, Islam and Paganism.

Dragon's Head). The True Node oscillates according to the Moon's "wobble" caused by the gravitational effects of the Earth/Moon interaction, so sometimes has periods of direct motion. The Mean Node averages this "wobble" out. The north node is called the ascending, the south the descending node. Neither the Sun nor the Earth have nodes. More on the Moon's Nodes.
