Thanks again for holding this space. It's one of a kind on the internet.
Today, I'd like to ask whether there are any mature systems of spiritual development based primarily on Platonism. I know that many of the ancient sources have survived (the writings of Plato himself, as well as Plotinus, Proclus, etc.), but these don’t seem to include a systematic training program similar to the Golden Dawn system, for example, and I’m not aware of any extant traditions. I also know that the Golden Dawn was influenced by Neoplatonism, but I'm looking for something more purely Platonic.
