Stoicism is a philosophical school that originated in Athens approx. 300 BC e. during early Hellenism and retained its influence until the end of the ancient world. It was named after the portico of Stoa Poikile (Greek στοά ποικίλη, literally "painted portico"), where the founder of Stoicism Zenon of Kitiysky first acted independently as a teacher. With the development of mankind, Stoicism also develops. What is Stoicism?

Chapter 1

Start over. Since the time of Atlantis, or the ancient kingdom in Egypt or Sumer, who is closer to someone. About 3 thousand years BC era human civilization was very different than it is now. People used the hidden abilities of the human mind to the full, now we call it magic, mysticism or esotericism, but in those days it was just as accessible as it is now, for example, physics and mathematics. People used this knowledge for the treatment of diseases, for calculations in the construction of buildings, dams, temples. For agriculture, for managing society, and much more, which we do not even know now, because we have a completely different type of thinking. How, for example, did the voyage of the same Odysseus from Greece to Egypt take place? He consulted with the Gods whether it is possible to go? He promised them to make a hecatomb (a ritual sacrifice upon reaching the goal), the Gods incarnating in some kind of passing person or animal gave him confirmation and the date when to go on a journey. On the appointed day, he went to sea, without incident, with a tailwind, he reached Egypt, for example, he forgot to make a hecatomb or did not complete it completely. On the way back, due to the wrath of the Gods, he falls into a storm, which throws him to the island, where he is captured by the Goddess who lives there, who holds him captive for several years. When he finally begs her forgiveness, she creates a construction tool for him out of nowhere, he makes himself a raft, performs some redemptive action for the good of the Gods, and with her grace leaves the island, again on the appointed day. She tells him where he will break on the rocks, what to do, how to survive - everything happens that way, and as a result he ends up on the coast of Greece. - This is a typical picture of that time. A goddess is a certain lady - a priestess who possesses deep esoteric knowledge, who knows how to obtain everything necessary for life with one effort of thought. Having a high degree of enlightenment, she does not need anything superfluous worldly, she lives alone on the island for many centuries, not getting old, not needing anything.

Atlantis is an island in the Pacific Ocean, the archipelago is now only the Anzor Islands. She drowned, if anyone does not know. It was inhabited by the same priests as the Odyssey Goddess, but unlike her, the inhabitants of Atlantis led a rich lifestyle. They created on their island "Grad on a Hill" as we now call it. The island is inhabited by a highly developed civilization, albeit different from ours, and specially selected representatives of the indigenous population, as workers and soldiers. They had offices throughout the Maghrib - Volubilis in Morocco, the city of Ubar - in Libya, Amathus in Cyprus, Egypt, I think everyone knows the main points, then Ballbeck, Palmyra, Babylon, Ephesus, Pergamum in Turkey, Athens, Delphi in Greece, Rome Italy, Tarragona Spain - these are the main branches - the Embassy of Atlantis in the Mediterranean region. In America, everyone also knows Teotiukan, Washaktun, etc. In all these ancient cities there are megalithic temple complexes where the priests of Atlantis worked with the indigenous population, selected promising youth for training and further sending to Atlantis to work, treated, predicted the future and contacted with the indigenous elite and philosophers, they collected tribute from the controlled territories - well, over 5000 years, not much has changed in the work of the imperial consulates.

If necessary, the Atlanteans sent military detachments to Greece to restore order, since selected and trained natives fought, but having the esoteric support of the priests of Atlantis, the victory invariably remained with the Atlanteans. They have not lost a single battle in history. The indigenous population was also trained in priestly skills, but without government support, as in Atlantis. For example, the philosopher Zeno, wandering around the world, communicated with representatives and service personnel of the embassies in Sumer, Egypt, Greece - from them he received philosophical and esoteric knowledge and began to teach them to students, and later his teaching was called Stoicism. It was, in fact, a mixture of all the leading teachings of that time, selected from all the countries of the ancient World. Since he tried, taking away knowledge, delved into everything and rechecked, then he got a doctrine that described the World quite fully and thereby made it possible for a person who owns this philosophy to understand reality more clearly and distinctly than others understood it. Due to this, the first Stoics got richer, had better health, could calculate dates for weddings, sowing crops, etc., and the doctrine of Stoicism quickly gained popularity. I must say that in parallel with it, many different other philosophical schools operated - but the rest were less carefully worked out and therefore were inferior to Stoicism in the competitive struggle. At the same time, Stoicism and other teachings were amateur, without state support, and therefore Stoitszim, despite all its advantages, still lost in comparison with the knowledge of the priests of Atlantis.
