Plotinus was a great sage and is said to have been blessed with the beatific vision of the Absolute several times in his life. It is the opinion of some scholars that the strikingly Oriental element in Plotinus is due to his having gained the wisdom of India while he was accompanying the Emperor Gordian in his campaign in the East. And each of them contains all within itself, and at the same time sees all in every other, so that everywhere there is all, all is all, and each all, and infinite the glory. No shadow limits vision. All the essences see each other and interpenetrate each other in the most intimate depth of their nature.
Light everywhere meets light.
Rest is perfect, because it is not mingled with any principle of disturbance. To have seen that vision is reason no longer. It is more than reason, before reason, and after reason, as also is the vision which is seen.
