In our ancient words we read of those who lived a "Pythagorean Way of Life" or a "Philosophical Lifestyle". The characteristics of this we would see as, being silent and using words sparingly, developing a love of truth and using this as a means to purify the soul, following a vegetarian diet and acting on a belief in reincarnation, pursuing mathematics and music and learning and above all valuing inner experience over external pleasure seeing, advantage or status.
It would be interesting to think what would be the result if we applied this kind of analysis to modern paths. What for example would you see as the defining characteristics of a Hermetic , Yogic or Wiccan way of Life?
