This essentially explains human purpose, in the most profound beautiful, specific, complex and spiritually enriching manner I have ever heard. Pure gold, thank you for sharing
🙏

Plotinus via Porphyry via McKenna and Narrated by the One (and only) Dan Attrell. Marvelous.....
"inspired by Ficino" can be squeezed in there too!
Thousand thanks for good contents. I just got started with reading The Enneads
Just found you and my friend you are a bright shining light with a gift ! Thank you for your hard work
Thanks..for all the works..Most-Excellent-
I have found through personal experience that the human ego, when disempowered and dissolving, transfers its power and identity to the soul. Temporary ID becoming permanent ID for personal individualisation forever. Thereafter, directing the being, instead of controlling it. Thank you.
wow...such epiphany...is blessing...💛
@@strayCATchillspot The key is to feed the soul with good stuff, with truth, not the ego with the rest, with deception. Whatever gets fed grows. Whatever gets starved, dies. One dissolving into the other by osmosis. Until the human 'race' is won by the soul. Not usurped by the ego. Great plan! 👍
@@sunseeker4775 reminds me of that verse out of the gospel of thomas about bringing forth that which is within you (the soul) as thats what will save you and if you do not bring forth that which is within you will destroy you..........so if you feed that which is within you with goodies then it will live - or it will die off from neglect becuase it is not being fed with the nutrition it needs....................such as the the vast majority of the world through materialism!
@@wendyfoster9232 Absolutely!
This is awesome! Please do more from the Enneads
Perhaps the most beautiful, elegant and lucid account of human self-understanding in ancient literature.
Ta Dan wonderful work x
Potent stuff, thank you kindly!
Awe-inspiring, an aroma of the oral genre it may once have been. Wonderfully read! Thank you!
thank you for sharing brilliant reading
16:56 , eyes wide open, you are something else. Thank you so much
THIS ONE!!!! Very well narrated, thank you.
Thanks for listening
One of the best channels out there.
Thanks!
Beautiful commentary
Eloquently read Dan. One of the deeper head spaces an individual will find themselves in.
Great reading...now to go find that poll, so I can weigh in.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 🙏
should be taught in every elementary school worldwide.
This reminded me of The Hermetica. The book that changed my life.
Great book.
Plotinus is perhaps similar to Mystic Christianity and Kashmir Shaivism in that it sees THE ONE existing as MAN and as WOMAN so not to be alone.
In other words. The meaning of Life is Love.
As above, so below. Our higher and lower selves affect each other...they are mutual influencers.
Sweet!
🙏
i was asking out loud that i wanted to know more about the soul - if we ask those important questions the answers will always come - especially of we want to know about the things that are...........blessings and much love to you brother of light and to all your subs!...and as a one of your subs asked....i will ask the same question also - Could you explain what these folks mean by "intellectual" and "rational" and "sensible"? .thankyou
nice, hard for me to understand but i like plotinus
Heck ya dan
hecken ya
Another gift from on high.. You and Esoterica are islands of intellectual sanity in a fallen world. Any other similar great resources you can recommend?
Do you know about www.shwep.net?
Dear Dan,
Could you explain what these folks mean by "intellectual" and "rational" and "sensible"?
I think the gaps between what Plotinus et all meant and how we understand the meanings of those words are now large enuf as to make this really confusing for folks.
Maybe the author writes those out in the book somewhere?
But maybe a whole episode or part of one at least, could be dedicated to the meaning of "intellectual".
Thanks for your awesomeness!!
beautiful💛😲🐣🐥🐤🐔😀

The encavernment of the soul. How very sad.
😎
The soul can indeed be likened as a prisoner, but one should look into the east in order to fulfil his world-view. We are here to change matters in the physical world, accept this and you accept all memories. God is in everything and operates indeed in ways mysterious to us, precisely because this SuperConsciousness experiences everything from all perspectives, simultaneously and in all possible iterations and chooses from the paths available to the comparatively minor beingness, the best of those path trajectories.
Best trajectory is, the one that leads a person to the middle way, the symmetry.
Consciousness is impermanent
Did anyone else found this difficult to understand?
Admittedly it's not the clearest translation, there are many others out there, but this is the only one I could get from the public domain (that is to say, its bound to be weighed down by opaque archaicisms).
@@TheModernHermeticist Can you suggest me some contemporary or easier translations of this book? I found it really difficult to understand what he was trying to say and at times rewinding the same clip for five times also didn't help.
Hey stranger! We miss you at creepy little book :( Please stop by & say hello sometime! 💜
Hi Tina! Will do! My problem is that I'm a reverse nighthawk, so it's almost like I'm up in the morning just about when Pete is finishing up his streams. I'll try to drop in some time soon.
4:45 It was necessary :(

A Non intellectual FROM L.A. HAS FOUND GOD. HOW DO LIKE THEM APPLES.
That is a definitive egoic sentiment.
Look harder
@@alexanderkorn4730 EGO/GEO GOD IN MY CORNER. WHO DO YOU GOT.
There is no purpose here other than escape the clutches of satan....
Dharma nation you tube for more truth namaste
If you can't explain something in simple terms, its either fabrication or you don't understand it well enough...in this case i'd say both, anyone who considers this life and this realm a gift...deserves to be in an asylum....you are in a hell realm..where life eats life, animals eat each other alive 365 dpy 24/7...hpd...how blind do you have to be, 10'000 human diseases....not including animals...and he talks about penaltys lol.....humans are slaves...
let me guess. This is the Demiurges realm?
@Pseudo-numenien You are not at then right level sufficient enough to get it..your'e lacking something....
