Wisdom from the Seven Sages — Staff of the Rosicrucian Digest

Ancient Greek legend has it that in the sixth century BCE, there were seven sages in Greece who served the God Apollo. According to the ancient tales, at least three of their best-known sayings were inscribed at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, together with the enigmatic and still unexplained great letter E. Several other cultures, including India and China, also had stories of seven mythic sages, suggesting a universal and archetypal quality to these philosophers and their sayings. This podcast offers examples of wisdom from these sages, and an opportunity to meditate on each.
