We delve into a proto-Gnostic, Savior Figure & Mystic Master.  Not only might have he given you fits in your high school geometry class, this mysterious character coined the word ‘philosophy’, was initiated in the Orphic & Egyptian Mysteries, understood the universe as a harmony of music, math and magic, and founded perhaps the first egalitarian, ascetic cadre of freethinkers in the West.  He influenced most of the greatest philosophers of Greece, including Plato.  Whether in history or in legend, this man is one of the main grandfathers of most esoteric schools of thought in Western Culture.  You know him simply as Pythagoras.     ....
