Dialogue(s): enneads Chapters: 6.2 Reading from Ennead 6.2, by Plotinus (Balboa translation), which you may read or download free of charge here . Usually we video Friday night talks, but we had problems with the A/V equipment during the talk.  We still managed to capture on camera the dream explorations (beforehand) and chat (afterwards). A hearty "thank you!" to Oralia Balboa-Romo, who saved the evening for future generations by sitting up front and recording the audio for this evening with her little Sony ICD-PX312 dictation recorder, and sharing her recording with me to post. However, because the audio-recorder sat a distance of several feet away from Pierre, you may experience more difficulty distinguishing his recorded voice from the background noise. Headphones or earbuds may help. As usual, Pierre drew chart diagrams as he spoke, and these have been uploaded. We also plan to upload his hand-out.

Synopsis Another fun Friday night with Pierre and members of the NS. We continue our discussion of Plotinus 6.2.21, which gets us into Timaeus and Nous. Highlights Plotinus 6.2.21, Continued 7:04:30pm PST Chris asks: What are the four genera? A Study in what Plotinus calls, “Seeing” An Exploration of “Nous-ing and Logos-ing” Does Plotinus have a certain development? Compare Plotinus’ first and last descriptions of “seeing” Discussion of “seeing” in the greek with Barbara and David 7:27pm PST What is the Logos doing to and with Nous? It brings out the intelligibility of nous (Thus) Nous is not just an activity of the mind or soul, but there is an intelligibility to nous What's so hot about νους (Nous, Intellect)? Timaeus: The only real object of meditation is to contemplate nous. Nous is a very rare function: The gods possess it, but few humans have it. So this is a way of exercising the powers behind the idea of nous and making it familiar to us so that we can perhaps access it . You need the power of nous to understand the nature of ultimate reality: This is the goal of the Timaeus The whole intro to the Timaeus (says Plato) is superficial. The Mystery, the Real Problem 3 terms: Intelligible, Model-Copy, and Becoming In what is it becoming? Upon what does it become? Everyday world: no reason to call the elements elements, because everything passes out of and into the others. Instead, let's consider that everything is made out of one thing: "gold". Upon what is it projected? What is the recipient? (The so-called "screen" Pierre has talked about recently as a metaphor) Everything we experience has to be experienced upon something, something that is “pure”. How can something so pure except those images? Those images themselves are nothing but copies of eternal ideas, ideas in the intelligible realm, and everything we experience is an immitation of that realm. The necessary purity of the “screen”: it must be free of any additions other than itself Everything that exists has to be in a place Sacred place, pure What is it about this blank screen that accepts so much stuff upon it? is it just passive? or does it have an affinity for the objects that are going to be projected upon it? Then it is not pure, is it? How is it possible that these eternal ideas can be imitated on another (lower) level in our world? What is the transition? The only way out of this is to see the role of the Intellect (nous) The Mother: “The Nurse of All Becoming” (the blank screen) it participates in the Intelligible so Intellect (nous) is the one object of contemplation Being, Rest, and Motion: Keep these in mind while contemplating Nous, so as to re-establish yourself in it. What is it that is experiencing everything that you are experiencing in your life? Read Timaeus section (see Homework below) If these things are not projected upon anything, then how does it have its ongoing appearance? Generation, That which is generated upon, and Source. Father, Mother, etc. How does the Logos (and Pathologos) function in Plotinus 6.2.21? Does the blank screen reject the irrational while preserving the pathologos? Phi / Golden Ratio 7:57pm PST Chris' questions/comments regarding the φ (phi, golden ratio) Every pathologos is imitation All people really know is the difficulties they have, but not their problem So anyone thinks they understand their problem but still has difficulties still has the problem Back to the Pathologos and Plotinus What is it about that the one thing the pathologos does not turn upon is the Mind? missed 20:13 quote about the Self In the line of creation, we are the last members. We only create pathologos, which has no life in itself Parallels between what the Intellect is doing at the highest and lowest levels Back to Timaeus 8:28pm PST page 168 in Bollingen Thomas Taylor . “At present however it is necessasry to consider 3 sorts of things. One that which is generated. another that IN which it is generated. And a third, that from which the generated nature derives its similitude... But it is proper to assimilate that which receives to be like a mother. That from whence it receives, to a father. And the nature situated between these two are the offspring.. The receptacle which is destined to receive all possible forms hould itself be destitute of all forms (ideas). It is necessary that the subject that is so often destined to receive in a beautiful manner, through the whole of itself resembles eternal things. It itself should be naturally destitute of all that it receives.” (The Self) “.. we reall should call it a certain invisible species. Formless, it is a universal recipient. Its scarcely explicable manner participates of an intelligible nature.” “All opinions are the sisters. ANd they are not able to separate from our cognition..” The distinction between Intellect and Right Opinion Homework For Next Week Go over Timaeus 48-51 again, and be familiar with it. In Plotinus: Can we substitute "pathologos" for "logos" while reading 6.2.21, and see where it goes?

Synopsis Another fun Saturday morning with Pierre and members of the NS. We continue our discussion from last night regarding the wording of Pierre's exhortation to practice (internal) phronesis. Barbara also brings in three great quotes on phronesis from Plato's Republic , and at end Pierre dialogues with Sayon over Sayon's OBE's and recommends Sayon read Plotinus who has the same question: What Am I Doing Back in This Body? Highlights Phronesis vs perfectionism, continued, with Barbara and Jeff Most fully, most good, in the moment. Calling on the SElf to emerge, purely, to do this curious thing in the spirit of Good-ness Simple, powerful, over time, it will achieve its result 10:38 What is Science? Continuing discovery 10:57 Can you think of a time when this expression can fit your experience? Where you drop everything? What's the difference between these? 11:05 Barbara's 3 quotes 505c2 L2 89 For they say it is the phronesis of the Good, as if we understood their meaning when they utter the word ‘good’ 517c5 L2 130 and that anyone who is to act with phronesis in private or public must have caught sight of this. 518e2 L2 137 But the excellence of phronesis, it seems is certainly of a more divine quality a thing that never loses its potency, but according to the direction of its conversion, becomes useful and beneficent, or, again, useless and harmful Remembering Self 11:08 Bradley's dream exploration 11:25 PG's question (A: phronesis) 11:27 Discussion with Sayon: What am I doing back in the body? and thus Plotinus: The Descent of the Self: What happened to me? Here I am! And I just came down from a magnificent experience! Why didn't I stay there? Why did I come back down into the physical body? Dream Texts Bradley's Dream There was this boat and it looked like I was in France, Ya I was in Missouri and I looked at the boat, I was like how can I be in Missouri and it looks exactly like France?
