: Hello all, : Here's an interesting page from Ennead I,2.: : I. 2. 3. As the Soul is evil by being interfused with the body and by coming to share the body's states and to think the body's thoughts, so it would be good, it would be possessed of virtue, if I threw off the body's moods and devoted itself to its own Act - the state of Intellection and Wisdom - never allowed the pions of the body to affect it - the virtue of Sophrosyny - knew no fear at the parting of the body - the virtue of Fortitude - and if reason and the Intellectual-Principle ruled without opposition - in which state is Righteousness. Such a disposition in the Soul, become thus intellective and immune to pion, it would not be wrong to call Likeness to God; for the Divine, too, is pure and the Divine-Act is such that Likeness to it is Wisdom.
