True of how the Arianism was plotted against and now we’re all the worse off for it.

In 518, however, the Eastern Emperor, Anastasius, died and Justin I succeeded to the throne in Constantinople. Justin was a rough and uneducated soldier who had the help of his brilliant young nephew, Justinian. Justin suppressed the heresies that had flourished under Anastasius and moved to accept the Roman view on various disputed points. As a result, there was a slow warming of relations between Pope and Emperor, with Theodoric finding himself increasingly isolated. Justin also initiated stringent anti-Arian policies that Theodoric found disturbing. In 525, Theodoric sent Pope John I to Constantinople to negotiate an easing of imperial bigotry. In-stead, the evidence was quite strong (and was conclusive to Theodoric) that Pope and Emperor were conspiring against the old king.

    The half-baked philosophical conundrum that keeps me up at night most often is simply: why is my consciousness limited to me in particular? Why am I not everyone? Or everything? or nobody? Or you? Or an ant? Or an ant colony? How did I find myself in this particular stream and what is the nature of the boarders that keep me within it?

    This idea generally frustrates and freaks me out and I doubt there is a sensible answer, I doubt it's productive to think about, but I worry on it over and over.

    I think helps address your philosophy conundrum.

    Plotinus was taught by an Ammonius Sacca.

    I agree with the conspiracy theory that Sacca was derived from the Sakhya, the clan of Siddhartha Gautama, he of .
