Hi there! I'm wondering a couple of things about this Plato quote:
"...perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself."
One is where it comes from. Is there a literary source? I've looked all over the web, and lots of people quote it, while no one says where it specifically comes from other than "Plato."
The other question is if anyone knows what Plato seemed to mean by this? Is it astrological?
