Damiani (Enneads:726-730) – Soul
14 de setembro de 2023, por Cardoso de Castro
Our venerable friend and guide reveals that he has penetrated into the mysteries of soul, its greatness and wonder, its graded powers and divinity. This is not a knowledge by acquaintance—the intellect’s capacity for remembering created concepts—but a knowledge that goes beyond the imagination’s formulation of thoughts, beyond even the categories of thought. For the capacity of the lower mind to formulate thoughts and concepts is objective to the experience of the sage. We are now speaking (...)

Damiani (Enneads:731-737) – The System of Nature
14 de setembro de 2023, por Cardoso de Castro
The entire universe, including all levels and all possible worlds, is the body of God manifested within Soul. For Plotinus, this is the system of Nature. Our universe as thus conceived is not inert matter, nor is it an illusion:
... this All is one universally comprehensive living being, encircling all the living beings within it, and having a soul, one soul, which extends to all its members in the degree of participant membership held by each... (IV.4.32)
For Plotinus, the Cosmos is (...)

And the father of Intellect which is the cause he calls the Good and that which is beyond Intellect (...)

9. E o que vê essa visão interior? Recém-desperta, não pode ver completamente as coisas radiantes . É preciso, então, acostumar a própria alma a ver primeiro as belas ocupações; em seguida, as belas obras, não essas que as artes realizam, mas as dos chamados homens bons; depois, vê tu a alma dos que realizam as belas obras . Como verias o tipo de beleza que uma alma boa possui? Recolhe-te em ti mesmo e vê; e se ainda não te vires belo, como o escultor de uma estátua que deve (...)

10. It has been shown that we ought to think that this is how things are, that there is the One beyond being, of such a kind as our argument wanted to show, so far as demonstration was possible in these matters, and next in order there is Being and Intellect, and the nature of Soul in the third place.
