So there is a preparation for the wisdom which is higher than philosophy , which doesnot concern the reason, but the soul and spirit , and we can call it inner preparation , and it seems it had been the highest levels of the school of Pythagoras . It has extended its influence through the school of Plato to the neo -Platonism of the Alexandrian school , where it appears clearly again . If for this inner preparation words are still used , these could no longer be taken only as symbols for fixing the inner contemplation.By this preparation , man is led to some states that allow him to exceed the rational knowledge that he previously achieved , and as all this is above the level of reason , its was also above philosophy since the name of philosophy is always used in fact to describe something that belongs only to the reason . However, it is surprising that modern consider philosophy as if it were complete in itself , and so they forget what is higher . .

The first philosophers, especially Pythagoras , had consider their education , as being a new expression of the old ideas . There were several kinds of mysteries with diverse origins. Those that inspired Pythagoras and Plato were related to the cult of Apollo . “Mysteries” always had a reserved and secret character , the word “mystery” itself means etymologically the total silence , since things which are related to could not be expressed by words , but only taught by a silent way . But modern who ignore any other method which doesnt involve the use of words, falsely believed , that there was no teaching . We can say that this silent teaching was using figures , symbols, and other means designed to bring man to the inner states allowing him to gradually achieve the real knowledge or wisdom . This was the essential and ultimate goal of all the “mysteries” .

As for the “mysteries” that were specifically related to the cult of Apollo and Apollo himself , it must be remembered that he was the God of sun and light ,in the spiritual sense it s the source from where all knowledge , arts and sciences derive.

When resistance to a foreign invasion is done by a Western nation , it is called “patriotism” and is worthy of all the praise , when it is done by eastern people it’s called ” fanaticism ” or ” xenophobia “and deserves all hatred and disdain..

Besides, it s not by the name of ” Right ” and “Freedom ” and “Justice” and ” Civilization ” that the Europeans are trying to impose their domination , and forbid any one to live and to think otherwise they do ?,

There is in the West now only two kinds of people , who are not better and interesting than each others : the naive and silly who allow themselves to beleive in these big words and believe in their “civilizing mission” , unaware that they are materialistic barbarism , and the tricky skilled wo abuse of these silly people to satisfy their instincts of violence and greed.

In any case, what is certain, is that easterns have never threatened anyone and never thought much to invade the West in one way
