The Beginning (Revival)

A Brief Introduction:

Marsilio Ficino (Latin name: Marsilius Ficinus; Figline Valdarno, October 19, 1433 - Careggi, October 1, 1499) was one of the most influential humanist philosophers of the early Italian Renaissance, an astrologer, a reviver of Neoplatonism who was in touch with every major academic thinker and writer of his day, and the first translator of Plato's complete extant works into Latin। His Florentine Academy, an attempt to revive Plato's school, had enormous influence on the direction and tenor of the Italian Renaissance and the development of European philosophy.

Now, in part, through transcendence and clarity, a revival of such time and magnificence is happening and I, Richard (Ricky) J. Fico had been summoned to deliver upon a promise...one that seemingly I made a long time ago.

I haven't much in formal education but what I do have is much more valuable. And part of this knowledge and understanding that I had promised to impart to you can only be made possible if you, and let me stress this emphatically, share with me your knowledge and understanding as I am still a mere student. I've a simple quote I wrote not so long ago: "A Greedy mind is to learn, yet not teach and A Lazy mind is to yearn, yet not reach." I think you understand what I am saying. Oh, and this quote is inscribed nicely upon my inspirational gifts: Power of Mind

As the days progress brightly into the nearer horizons of the "Golden Renaissance" you will, in large measure, be more resourceful, more tranquil, more successful...oh, I know it, I always knew this simple fact....

Although, to a certain degree, our very nature stems from a past most often hidden, our present embodiment is guided in part, by that past but to a larger degree by circumstances that are more evident, more temporal. And it is with this thought of mine, that I will attempt to synthesize these two elements. In other words, what I will utilize in my journey forward are the lessons from the past with the lessons of today... For those who believe in the concepts of the eternal soul, synchronicity, even reincarnation, you will have a clearer understanding to much of what I will be relating here as much as I will have a greater understanding of what you, in turn, hopefully reveal or relate to me....
