References in the Talmud and Midrash (3rd-6th centuries CE) in Tannaitic and Amoraic periods. This is evidenced from the Jewish Talmudic Pardes legend of the four chief Rabbis of the Mishnaic period in 1st century CE namely Rabbi Akiva, and the mystical text Maʿaseh Merkavah forbidden to teach publicly. According to Maimonides, the text reveals science and astronomy. These references are clear evidences of restricted esoteric teachings from those periods.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dominique Johnson is a writer and author of The American Minervan created years ago and changed from its first iteration as Circle of Asia (11 years ago), because of its initial Eurasian focus. The change indicated increasing concern for the future of their own home country. He has spent many years academically researching the deeper philosophical classical sources of Theosophy, Eclecticism and American Republicanism to push beyond current civilizational limitations. He has spent his life since a youth dedicated to understanding what he sees as the “inner meanings” and instruction in classical literature, martial philosophies, world mythology and folklore for understanding both the nature of life and dealing with the challenges of life.
