Im relistening to a translation on \*Allegory of the Cave. It goes a bit deeper than the parts that everyone knows, as its another instance of something that everyone would be surprised by, seeing as alot of these Greek texts go a wee bit deeper. Its like, finding a well (of water) and it turning out to be a 3,000 year old cave system or something.

Paraphrase from Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum): "... that which is in the Word is also in ourselves."

Greek Magical Papyri (PGM): "I call upon the Word of the All, that which binds heaven and earth, and let it manifest in the circle."

Plato – Cratylus (439–440): "A name is a likeness of the thing itself; if rightly spoken, it carries the essence of what it names."
