"At this time in history, the Greeks were famous throughout the Western world for their brilliant philosophy. But Iamblichus decided that philosophy alone is not enough to lead anyone to enlightenment. He complained that since the spectacular success of some of the more rationally oriented Greek schools, there was too much emphasis on theology, which in Greek means 'talk about God,' and not enough on theurgy, which means 'God work'-actively doing the spiritual practices that actually produce real inner transformation."- Lost Masters, (pg 147)
