Also Damascius doesn't just let the paradox of the threeness of the One pass him by ("muh god is above logic bro"), they, or rather we, ""fuse"" these distinctions into the true Ineffable (the Intellect can't conceive of this reality). Which leads into Silence at the 'last steps' of theurgic contemplation, you close the Flower of Intellect, the Eye of the Soul, into non-perception, into non-comprehension. All names fail at pointing, pointing fails at pointing, this includes apophatic ways, since denial is the mother of all assertions. The Ineffable admits of no assertions including this assertion that it doesn't admit any assertions (that's why the first step isn't silence but the last you do after having hailed God with all honorifics, apophatic. and kataphatic), not even the name One except as the being the greatest name to give,beyond Oneness, transcending transcendence, beyond sameness, beyond difference, beyond plurality, neaer to you than your soul, more inaccessible than the inaccessible.
You shall only say ἕν by subconsciously breathing (you utter this every time you breathe) not by actively willing to speak.
