Lost Masters | Free Book
Rediscovering the Mysticism of the Ancient Greek Philosophers
Ashrams in Europe twenty-five hundred years ago? Greek philosophers
studying in India? Meditation classes in ancient Rome? It sounds
unbelievable, but it’s historically true. Alexander the Great had an
Indian guru. Pythagoras, Empedocles, and Plotinus all encouraged their
students to meditate. Apollonius, the most famous Western sage of the
first century c.e., visited both India and Egypt—and claimed that
Egyptian wisdom was rooted in India.In Lost Masters,
award-winning author Linda Johnsen, digging deep into classical
sources, uncovers evidence of astonishing similarities between some of
the ancient Western world’s greatest thinkers and India’s yogis,
including a belief in karma and reincarnation. Today ancient Greek
philosophers are remembered as the founders of Western science and
civilization. We’ve forgotten that for over a thousand years they were
revered as sages, masters of spiritual wisdom. Lost Masters is
an exploration of our long-lost Western spiritual heritage and the
surprising insights it can offer us today.
