Summary: <p>The ancient master Plotinus (204-270 CE) was one of the great philosophers and mystics of antiquity. Profoundly influenced by earlier masters like Plato and Aristotle, he directly or indirectly had an enormous impact on writers for centuries to come such as Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine, and the great Ibn 'Arabi. He regarded human's true nature as being something wholly different than the one composed of matter that most of us associate with our selves. Instead, he advocated for a conception of a self having nothing to do with our physical forms and mental fabrications. Instead, he asked us to focus on an ephemeral conception of the self. Through spiritual transcendence he believed we could reach the perfect manifestation of ourselves. To explain the nature of human beings in his conception he frequently used the metaphor of a mirror. And that is what this 45 minute version of the Plotinus' Mirror uses to help you reach these higher levels of consciousness that he wrote of so long ago.</p><p><br></p><br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
