The Prometheus Trust: Providence, Fate and the Soul
June 20 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
The Platonic tradition holds that the soul is a mysterious and amphibious creature that must negotiate two worlds, that of eternal being and that of time-bound “becoming”. What kind of experiences arise from these two orders of reality? In what way are they related? How is each order regulated? And how does the soul unfold its nature within the confines of each? Using short extracts from the writings of Plato, Plotinus and Proclus, we will spend our evening exploring these questions and consider the nature of the two worlds as expressing the underlying divine powers the tradition understands as Providence and Fate.
