Pseudo-Dionysius and Iamblichus

"The embodied soul, Iamblichus says, becomes a stranger to itself, and once exiled its own immortality, the soul must receive assistance from the gods to recover its lost divinity." — Gregory Shaw, 'Neoplatonic Theurgy and Dionysius the Areopagite'

"It is not possible for the human intellect to be lifted up to the immaterial mimesis and contemplation of the heavenly hierarchies unless it makes use of the material guide proper to it." — Pseudo-Dionysius, Ecclesiastical Hiearchy

"Is Dionysian theurgy, then, a specifically Christian expression of Iamblichean theurgy?" Very good read from Gregory Shaw, author of Theurgy and the Soul: The Neoplatonism of Iamblichus, for those who are into that kind of thing.
