MessageI am not sure I agree with him on the christian take over of roman mystery schools. Take a look at groups like the Jesuits they have more influence from Aristotle then I would say a simple heart centered black man from northern Africa. Constantine was into Mithras but even Mithraism does not get at the more alchemical influence of Greek mystery schools that liked to hide with in cultures, layering cultural symbols over there more geometric, planetary and mathematical alchemy. I would say Mithraism was just Christianity 1.0 for the hiding subtle Greek influence. That is my theory. I think it is very appropriate that Michael is going to Loyola collage to talk about grounding the mental body. Every thing looks Greek to me. It was not a take over but a shifting of symbols over top Greek mystery school info that they got from Egypt.
