| If one wants to know the nature of a thing, one must examine it in its pure state, since every addition to a thing is an obstacle to the knowledge of that thing. When you examine it, then, remove from it everything that is not itself; better still *remove all your stains from yourself and examine yourself*, and you will have faith in your immortality. | Plotinus | The Enneads | Neoplatonism | The All, The Ego | The All, The Ego | The All, The Ego | The All, The Ego |
