What is a Hellenistic plot?

Are ancient Greek philosophies still shaping your life? Discover the hidden 'Hellenistic plot' today!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, Charlie and Brian dive into the concept of the "Hellenistic plot," examining how Greek and Roman philosophies have invisibly shaped Western thought and culture. They trace the influence of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Zeno on modern ideas about power, control, and reasoning, arguing that many current societal struggles stem from these ancient frameworks. Through humor and critical reflection, they explore how rejecting Greco-Roman ideals opens the door to relational, participatory philosophies found in paganism, Hermetic Kabbalah, and non-Western traditions. The episode challenges listeners to recognize these inherited ideas and reimagine a more relational worldview.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett Substack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/## Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Setup00:38 The Hellenistic Influence01:05 Modern Implications of Ancient Philosophies01:43 The Invisible Influence of Greek and Roman Thought03:48 Absorbed Ideologies and Their Impact04:13 Philosophical Roots of Modern Conflicts05:44 The Struggle with Platonic and Aristotelian Ideas09:27 The Concept of Numbers and Reality13:54 The Importance of Both-And Thinking14:18 Science as a Creative Endeavor14:49 Perception and Reality16:27 The Hellenistic Plot and Magic17:51 Greco-Roman Influence on Religion19:39 Relational Philosophy vs. Top-Down Dictates25:50 Concluding Thoughts and Viewer Engagement Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe
