Platonist Contemplative Asceticism: Practice and Principle is a collection of essays, pieces, and translations that provides an account of how to understand and practice the Platonist path to liberation and release from the cycle of birth and death. Explanation is given of the principles of renunciation and asceticism and how to implement them in the modern world and the present day. Instruction is given for Platonist meditation at all levels from beginner to advanced. Platonist metaphysics is outlined with explanation of how it provides the underpinning for contemplative practice. Other topics include understanding Homer and Plato, spiritual experience, and reincarnation. Translations are given from Plotinus, Maximus, and Homer. The tone is exhortatory and encouraging throughout. Readers will find a wealth of material to set and keep them on the spiritual path of Platonism. Those familiar with other systems, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, will find an illuminating alternative.
