This is the ultimate truth which the EGYPTIANS TAUGHT PLATO AND PYTHAGORAS AND PLOTINUS. This fact must not be understated. The Priests told Solon that the Greeks are "ignorant" in that they dont remember their history & the history of the atlanteans who "came before the egyptians". This is literally the First Knowlege from Zep Tepi. (the egyptian name for the beginning of humanity)

Incredible. He and the platonists got this idea from the As above, So below principal of ancient Egypt. The word ankh means both "eternal life" and "mirror". eternal life being the mirror inbetween mortality and immortality.

Thank you for this excellent segment , 👍🏽 , like shared and subscribed

These are the best videos on Plotinus of come across so far

Thank you for answering my years long puzzle about our souls descent into matter.

"Forms" are not thoughts .the form of the Good is Spiritual Enlightenment .not noble or "sophisticated" thinking..

Mistake, you said the world around us is Reality, the world around us is an illusion ,it is called Maya ,it is the" imitation" spoken by Socrates and the "Reflection" in Consciousness by Plotinus Sorry .♥️ Do meditation, separate from your body and mind.... experience it for yourself.😮

I hope you're doing all right. I've watched your videos and they've made a huge difference on my life. I haven't seen you posted in a while. And I've seen you don't get very many views. I don't know if you quit but I have shared many of the philosophical concepts you have shared with me with other people mainly just related to plotinus honestly.

Great timing as I have been tracing the philosophical spiritual trail of consistency and where it was hijacked . If our focus is awakening to Truth we have to bypass religion and the tainted version of who we are. Paul was trying to explain this and there was loss in translation. Form and matter can lead us back as we put it in its proper place and look past it all to Self and Purpose. Excellent work you have done here by the Revelations of a controversial author. Now I start over but toward an achievable goal!

Kind of like you have forgotten you are consciousness rather than its contents in which the mind and the world appear. Half of our life is spent asleep (while awake) as in we aren't fully aware where our attention or consciousness is. We just tag along being dragged by the mind forgetting what we were doing or that we are even thinking. The soul thinking it is now material untill you’meditate and resolve duality and find no material soul or self. The soul being material is a wrong view or illusion Very buddhist

Plotinus ki assignment mjy chiya kisi k ps hai Tu please mjy dy dein

Very good!, but doesn't have methods of returning to the divine nature. Those were developed later by the Buddhists and Hindus. Meditation and the repetition of mantras are among the techniques, along with hatha yoga using breathing and mudras.

This is it.

Our eyes do see, each eye, all forms upside down and our brain rights them. What magnification.

Keep in mind Eric that heliocentrism was never really proven outside of mathematics. It's a philosophy and based on math only, not testable proofs. It has tons of problems too. The same math for heliocentrism applies to geocentrism too, according to many astronomers.

I enjoyed that, thanks. It reminds me of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean At The End Of The Lane.

This is one of the most amazing explanations for the issue of Self Relationship i've ever heard. I struggle with Plotinus but you have made these few words stand out like a firework and when exploding I am caught in the majesty of insight ! Well done !

Hell ya

Plotinus is the most mystifying of all the Greeks. As I started learning about him through the Arabics, I mistook him for Plato. No wonder, since their names are one letterswap away from being the same.

Thx I really appreciate 🙏 . God bless

The sun is gone?!? A recurring quote in GS125….could it refer to the “son” of god?

Thank you Eric, I very much enjoy your presentations, especially the ones concerning Neoplatonism. It greatly aids me in assimilating the Enneads.

corruption of soul relating to itself sounds like ego or self concept, not the "body" per se.

Excellent untill "..the body is a like a disease or illness..." which sounds completely wrong, this opinion or interpretation is not supported here by any quotes from Plotinus. Disappointing.

Plotinus was a Vedantist/Hindu and didn't know it.

Meaningless Metaphysical drivel ......as demolished by Bertrand Russell . As Schopenhauer said of Hegel : a monument to the stupidity of the German people...!!

Lovely - thank you -simply simple - love the drawings

Plotinus was a pagan heathen and will burn in Hell unless he turned to Christ.

Thanks Dr. Steinhart for trowing some light into these cryptic passages, your work is meritorious and laudable.

David Bohm's Intricate and explicate order comes to mind..

4:28 This diagram can be misleading. No higher level is disconnected from any lower level. The One permeates throughout Mind, Soul, Universe and Matter. Mind permeates throughout Soul, Universe, and Matter. Soul permeates throughout Universe and Matter. Universe permeates throughout Matter. At any level of Reality, one's awareness has access to all levels . . . because they are all there simultaneously. The trick is not to be overwhelmed by, or stuck in, any one level exclusively . . . but instead to be free to navigate any level as suitable. One can experience matter, for example, in it's own right . . . or from any of the other levels that are present within it and upon which it depends for its ontological existence. Our awareness is always at a certain level . . . which places us within the levels. At the same time . . . all the levels are within our awareness.

I have a question: is there any commonality with Plotinus to Spinoza by regarding the high and lower sphere of the same reality? I just stumbled on Plotinus and I honestly have benefited from your videos, am I right from my observation that Plotinus is a monist? Thanks!

Excellent content .. a new subscriber ...

Krishna is the One

Oh what a gift Emanation would give us, To see ourselves, as Emanation sees us, In this Metaphysical Mirror of Matter. What's that Noise...?

plotinus is so reach. both in philosophy and theology. am presently ready him in comparison with parmenides for degree program. i need more help on him please

Part of this sounds EXACTLY like the Hymn of the Pearl, the Gnostic Bible Story. Are you familiar with it?

Plotinus has very interesting ideas

Sounds like Plotinus was wiser then this Jesus guy (who's real name is unknown to most of his followers, just like his date of birth...)

Sigh,😟

I feel bad for the people who haven't looked in on this yet. This knowledge is utterly essential

Great stuff!!!

Geocentric is the right model. The Vedes had the same.

It's so hard to familiarize myself with the idea that the body, rather than the soul, is contained but I'm sure I'll get there.

You go through it every day/night conciseness and un conciseness when you control you thought when you awake and when you enter spiritual world when you sleep

Exactly! Love it!

Very relevant to me in 2020 watching the inverted mirror of tell-lie-vision.

Platinus is a Prophet he took his Knowladge from Nous and gave it to people.
