Seeing the Supreme

“And this is the true end set before the soul, to take that light, to see the Supreme by the Supreme and not by the light of any other principle – to see the Supreme which is also the means to the vision, for that which illumines the soul is that which it is to see, just as it is by the sun’s own light that we see the sun.”           

–Plotinus (Egyptian-born Roman Philosopher and Founder of Neo-Platonism, A.D.205-270)
