Gone are the days when people believed that Oníṣẹ̀ṣe were uneducated, poor or backward. Those old beliefs no longer define who we are.
Today, Oníṣẹ̀ṣe are educated. We value knowledge, learning and personal growth.
Oníṣẹ̀ṣe are beautiful. We are proud of our appearance, our character, our culture and the way we carry ourselves.
Oníṣẹ̀ṣe are successful and prosperous. We work hard, build meaningful lives and create opportunities for ourselves and others.
Oníṣẹ̀ṣe are intelligent. We are thinkers, learners, professionals, business owners and people with great wisdom and knowledge.
Most importantly, Oníṣẹ̀ṣe are proud of who we are and where we come from. We can embrace our tradition and culture while also being educated, successful, modern and accomplished.
Let us continue to learn, grow, support one another and proudly show the world that being Oníṣẹ̀ṣe is something to celebrate.

It’s important to understand the context of this quote, which is that this knowledge we acquire through the analysis of divine names does not, in Iamblichus’ view, exhaust them.
Iamblichus on the power of names:
Ἐφ’ ὧν γε μὴν παρειλήφαμεν τὴν ἐπιστήμην τῆς ἀναλύσεως, ἐπὶ τούτων τῆς θείας οὐσίας καὶ δυνάμεως καὶ τάξεως ἔχομεν ὅλης ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τὴν εἴδησιν.
-
Moreover, with respect to those names which we have analyzed scientifically, we possess the knowledge of the whole of the divine essence, power and order innate in them.

Lakshmi is the force that binds the perceiver to the object being perceived, everything we pay attention to is Lakshmi. How you turn it into Alakshmi is your internal field.
"The things ordinarily relegated to effects of material corruption, particularization, and/or division – cultural peculiarity and difference; individuality, even elementality – are, in Butler's henadology, rooted in principles before the demiurgic-formal." symmetria.substack.com/p/the…
This is my favorite installment of @timmodryoid's series so far, treating themes at the very heart of my reading of Platonism.

"Because divinity in Rigveda is born of truth and commitment (trust, not professing of belief) there is an inherent alignment with what the seers experienced as the 'cosmic order', and therefore Devas correspond to physical and spiritual realities." qr.ae/pFcZ9l
