>>16525159
Most of the gnostic texts we have are post-plotinian
There's not a western philosopher in history, after him, that hasn't been directly or indirectly influenced by him.

This man, Rene Guenon, may he rest in peace, was the most big-brained in all of western thought
>>16525163
Plotinus was BTFO for his incomplete metaphysical insight and attainment by the incomparable Rene Guenon

>"I never wrote anything on Plotinus, and admit that I never had the time to study him closely; but I know that there are many similarities to be made with oriental doctrines...Only there is one thing that has always shocked me: this history of states that Plotinus would have attained a certain number of times in his life, and, from which, seem to have left nothing permanent, which is poorly understood from the point of view of initiation; there would have been, in any case, something very incomplete in relation to his realization." - Rene Guenon, letter to Dr.Duby, 14 December 1936, Cairo

Such is his brilliant intellectual prowess that he was able to identify the fatal flaw and diagnose the problems in Plotinus without ever studying him closely.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 7 07:07:56 2020 No.16525588 >>16525515 It only looks that way because his eyes were positioned exceptionally high up in his face, just as his consciousness was exceptionally ascended in spiritual realization
