Plotinus was a first rate synthetic philosopher that combined and illustrated the best aspects of prior philosophers and added his own mystic insights. His concepts are consonant with about 70% of Christian divine mechanics interestingly. The idea He had about a river of creation flowing eternally from 'The One' that is 'translated from a realm of forms or intellect into material composition reminds me quite a lot of Jesus' discussion about 'the water of life' from which she would never thirst, as Jesus was God for-himself. It is disappointing that so many have simply been formed within a non-philosophical, purely materialist intellectual criterion that is implicitly biased.
