Who/What is The Therapeutae?

Hi.

My name is Victor, and I'm here to stay.

In fact, I am here to bring a great deal of assistance, tips, tricks, knowledge, and wisdom to this promising new community.

Considering that I've joined Steemit and I plan to bring amazing content to the table, I would first like to present you the meaning of my Steemit's channel name - The Therapeutae -

                        ~ The Physicians of the Soul ~

The Therapeutae were an ancient order of mystical ascetics who lived in many parts of the ancient world but were found especially near Alexandria, the capital city of Ptolemaic Egypt.

The Therapeutae created different schools of thought, the most important of which were Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, and Christian Gnosticism. Greek medicine played an important role in their healing practices. Some authors believe Jesus made contact with this community, which later would produce some of the leading philosophical scholars of early Christian Gnosticism. From historical tracings, we can understand that this religious sect was the first organized medical and religious order of Therapeuticians.

In the following days, weeks, months, and years, I will consistently produce, curate, and share "food for the mind and soul", and not only.

I'm eager to assist every single individual who can lay aside his ignorance and decide to DO something about his/her problems.

I'm eager to answer complex questions that require simple answers.

I am eager to give and to receive!

Let's connect!
