Have you written much on the Orphic gold tablets? I suspect it's in so-called "Orphism" that we see much that parallels the Christian mysteries. For what else is recollection besides choosing to drink of the waters of Memory, which brings to mind things celestial, rather than the spring of forgetfullness (Lethe), which plunges us back into terrestrial concerns?
