At some point there is a beginning…even at the time of nothing – yet the hidden or better yet with the \u201cOccult\u201d no one has ever quite found it\u2019s beginning as its cord is attached to times birth. If we start at the definition many will argue that nothing is hidden…in fact everything is apparent and \u00a0staring most right in the eye. In earlier times thousands of years past today \u00a0those before saw with their \u00a0third eye….a star guiding them into the constellations, the reinterpretation of angelic dialects to the reveal of to demons of the Goetia..only to name a few esoteric paths practised.<\/p>\n

So where are the beginnings of what so many swear their lives and sometimes souls upon? Is it that we hunger so much for intuitively thinking that there must be more than just the dogmatic religious approach? Why is it we feel that there must be a higher calling and power beyond our own to identify with? \u00a0Even more does the ego crave to swallow all around it becoming bigger than god? These questions and more will be addressed below in the brief chronological timeline of the occult history to understand where we\u2019ve come from and where we\u2019re going: But before you venture into the past to the present I ask you to ponder on where we go tomorrow as present categorically only reinvents the seekers of yesterday rather than carve a pavement towards a new path as so many of past.<\/p>\n

If however we have found the truths, and unlocked the hidden then we can only concede to the to the cause of \u00a0the abundance of reinvention being \u00a0a glorious celebration of song. As we all know that this is not true, there is still much hidden…still much to be learned, discovered, and \u00a0consciousness raised more than ever before.<\/p>\n

Of all the long list of those who have contributed to the DNA of the occult knowledge we\u2019ve further researched, today\u2019s aspiring adept occultist \u00a0on an average do more reinventing than discovery simply put.\u00a0 Reinvention varies from authors publishing belief systems from a \u201cdifferent\u201d perspective to claiming truth to something previously put in a different way. \u00a0I can accept that after looking at the chronological occult summary<\/a> that I have provided that perhaps we may be going through a very slow transition…or even more it may be time for other areas of what makes an existence to merge and it’s not all about spirituality but a raised consciousness of combined knowledge into a whole.<\/p>\n

Comprehensive Summary of the\u00a0Occult Time Line
\nWhere do you fit in? Where are the seeds of today and will there be any tomorrow?<\/p>\n

c.580\/570-c.500 B.C.E. Pythagoras : A Presocratic philosopher. Founder of a major school of philosophy\/religion that emphasized the mystical interconnections in numbers, nature, and the human soul. The natural and the ethical world were inseparable.<\/p>\n

c.515-c.450 B.C.E. Parmenides : On Nature<\/em>, extant in fragments. Another of the Presocratics. Extends Pythagoras by insisting that all that exists is unchanging and unified. Therefore, if something is changing, it is illusory. This paves the way for the two-world view important for much mysticism. Influences:<\/em> Pythagoras.<\/p>\n

428-348 B.C.E. Plato : Sophist, Republic, Parmenides, many others. Most important of ancient philosophers. His philosophical system provides the basis of most later mystical forms. Influences:<\/em> Pythagoras, Parmenides.<\/p>\n

384-322 B.C.E Aristotle .: Metaphysics, De Anima, Nicomachean Ethics. While Aristotle himself is not really considered to be a mystic, he is an important influence on later mystics, especially when combined with Plato by Plotinus, and also when Christianized in the high Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

c.20 B.C.E.-c.41 C.E. Philo : The Contemplative Life<\/em>. An Alexandrian Jew who drew from Platonist tradition, Stoicism, and neo-Pythagoreanism to create a fusion of the active or virtuous life and the contemplative life.<\/p>\n

6 AD – the Sefer Yetzirah was edited<\/p>\n

c.232-304 C.E. Porphyry : Isagoge<\/em>. Compiled Plotinus’ Enneads<\/em>, and wrote a life of Plotinus. He was strongly anti-Christian, yet he became important in the history of Christian mysticism.<\/p>\n

411-485 C.E. Proclus or Proclusthe Lycian<\/em> : Neoplatonic philosopher was born. The Elements of Theology<\/em>.
