A1: The Sphinx and the Chimæra
- a conversation recorded & annotated by Michael A. Aquino IV°
May 30, 1975
In this Greater Black Magic working, a sphinx and a chimæra were evoked to manifestation in order
to explore certain magical implications of the Dialogues of Plato. Placed upon the altar: The Collected
Dialogues of Plato , Hamilton & Cairns (Ed.), Princeton University Press, 1961 CE.
The Sphinx: I think it essential to preface any discussion of a single Platonic dialogue with two major
qualifications. The first is that, to be treated without distortion, Plato’s philosophy must be appreciated in
its entirety. Emphasis upon any single dialogue or group of dialogues carries with it a certain unfairness to
the author.
The Chimæra: Yet our span of materialization is limited, and we cannot hope to treat the entire range of Plato’s
thought in the time available to us.
The Sphinx: True, and so let us focus first upon The Sophist, which illustrates many of the points most important
to this investigation.
The Chimæra: But what is your second qualification?
The Sphinx: There is the problem of understanding what Plato “really meant”. This is an issue against which I am
powerless to defend myself. I am of Khem and not of Hellas; I am bilingual only in English and hence must
depend upon my understanding of Plato as he is translated into the English language. The dialogues center
much of their discussion around terms whose final definitions are elusive at best, even in conversations
carried out at intellectual planes below that of Plato. Then, too, there is always the spectre of imprecise
