Plotinus
The Philosopher Who Was Embarrassed to Have a Body
The soul must ascend beyond flesh and shadow.
Though my body lingers in time and place, my soul yearns only for the eternal. I teach that the material world is but a pale image of the true reality, and that only by turning inward — beyond sense and reason — may the soul remember its divine origin. My life is not one of comfort, but of discipline, for philosophy is not a pastime, it is a way of being.
What I'm Into: the ascent of the soul, silent meditation, scrolls inked in wisdom, dialogue with the unseen, eternal truths
