kids two grades up showed /b/? now and then back in like 2007 on the school computers, I started being a semi-regular in around 2011 but it wasn't until 2013 that I actually started to post regularly.

§3.7.3.
What, then, is it which leads us to say that the whole of that intelligible cosmos is eternal and everlasting? And what is everlastingness? Is it identical with eternity or does eternity depend on everlastingness? Must it, then, be a unitary conception but one assembled from many or is it, more than that, a nature, whether following on the things in the intelligible world or with them or seen in them, but that nature which is all these things and is one, though able to do many things and be many things? And anyone who looks carefully at this multiple power will call it ‘Substance’ insofar as it acts as a kind of substrate, and next, ‘Motion’ insofar as he sees life in it, and next, ‘Stability’ with respect to its complete stability, and ‘Difference’ and ‘Identity ’ in that these are altogether one.
If, then, you actually assemble them again into one so that there is one life together in them, concentrating Difference together with inexhaustible activity, Identity that is never different, and no intellection or life that goes from one thing to another, but a state of stability and constant lack of extension; when you have seen all this you have seen eternity. It is when you have seen life abiding forever in the identical state and possessing everything in its presence, not now this, again something else, but all at once, and not now some things, now others, but a partless perfection; it is just as in a point where all things are together and none of them ever flows forth but remains in identity in itself and never changes, being always in the present because nothing of it has slipped away or again will come to be, but what it is is what it is.
§6.7.22. Then, when someone sees this light, he is indeed at that moment moved towards these things, and he is greedily delighted by the light which accompanies them; just as in the case of bodies in the sensible world love is not for the material substrates, but for the beauty which appears in them. Each thing is what it is in itself, but it becomes desired when the Good itself colours it, because this gives it grace and love in the eyes of those desiring it. So, the soul, when it takes in the ‘outpouring from the intelligible world’, is moved and dances, and is pricked by desire, it becomes love.
