Our reading approach is non-linear. We begin with select Neoplatonic texts, move to Hermetic writings, and then explore some of Plato's works before returning to Neoplatonism, followed by mythology and Homer. We may also include writings on Zen Buddhism and ancient Sanskrit texts. We continue in a circular motion, broadening our knowledge and understanding with each cycle.

In today's age of digital media, it is easy to rely on a seemingly infinite collection of content created by others, leading to secondary and tertiary interpretations of the original writings. We believe this approach is limited, as it places the seeker one or two steps removed from the intrinsic value embedded within the primary texts.

There are many translations of the original texts, and the historical interpretation of certain words has created additional barriers to understanding and knowledge. For this reason, we will always aim to read several reputable translations of the original texts concurrently, including our own work.

While we respect the traditional role of the guru, where can we find that guide today? Where are the brave, unwavering heroes? Where can we go to experience the intense heat of the fire? We must now approach the texts ourselves and rediscover the profound wisdom that the ancients once understood.

We cannot emphasise enough that no minimum standard of education is required. At least some of the content in these texts is accessible to everyone, regardless of any perceived limitations in ability. It is perfectly acceptable for individuals to meaningfully engage with many of the texts simply by reading them, without the need for deeper, sublime interpretations.
