You need to the connect cause with effect in a way from transparent black to opaque black if it's a black line being drawn and that's the power of the mind and this mystical element here is also the element of time

Reply to God by ChilledName

That's the opposite of god,in that there is something. There isn't something. And it's okay. Not an okay that leads to something,but an eternal okay.

Yeah, that's Ptolemaic Egypt for you. Plotinus was of unknown origin and we don't know what he looked like because he didn't let himself even be drawn - he was so much against "images". We know that he was Greek-speaking, though possibly as a second language, and that he was a student of Ammonius Saccas, a very interesting and scarcely known figure.

Here's a hint - if you ever want to annoy a well-informed Christian theologian, ask them about Ammonius Saccas and Philo of Alexandria. These names legitimately make them uncomfortable because they provide proof for Nietzsche's hypothesis (in Genealogy of Morals) that Christianity was a sort of Jewish payback to Rome for conquering Jerusalem and driving the jews out of Israel. It's as if they concocted a super-appealing apocalyptic mixture of Judaism and Neoplatonism that was sure to drive a whole lot of people crazy with religious fervor. It's a braindead classical philologist tier conspiracy theory borne out of the similarities between Jesus Christ and Apollonius of Tyana. Apollonius was real, even though his story was exaggerated by Philostratus; there's evidence of his travels from the people he met. No historical evidence of any Jesus living at the same time as Apollonius and doing the same stuff as him.

Oh no, Spinoza wasn't even first in the west. Another notable instance is the neoplatonist Plotinos, whose whole philosophy revolves around the One, from which everything "emanates" or something. E.g.:

When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is one head. If a man could but be turned about, he would see at once God and himself and the All. It is in virtue of unity that beings are beings. ("Enneads")
