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 Pierre takes the study group through reading of Plotinus Ennead V.1.6-7. These are difficult chapters with very good questions and positions. Three translations are compared, and they clearly also differ, depending on each translator's insight. Regina brings up a good question on insight and the testing of a kensho by the roshi (in a zendo). Discussion devolves into a discussion of hallucinogenic drug research. Study Materials A.H.

Highlights 0:00:30 - Intro discussion playing with the ideas of something and nothing. 0:06:00 - Start of reading chapter 6, comparing all 3 translations. 0:27:15 - Start of reading chapter 7, musing for 21 more minutes. 0:48:35 - PG starts the discussion: If anything goes on in your mind, do you instantly recognize it? 0:51:45 - Is there an intellect functioning in the mind? 0:53:00 - Is there recognition all the time? 0:58:00 - Pierre has run across one in the group (I don't know who this is, and he is down in front, off camera) who cannot conclude (i.e., make affirmative statements without qualifications). While they have a lot of fun with it, the implication is that this is clearly a pathologos and thus an invitation to philosophical midwifery. But they do not go there, instead continuing on with the topic at hand. 0:59:50 - What name do you want to give to the thing that is doing all this recognizing? "Intellect"? 1:00:30 - Can you be aware of doing the recognizing, while the recognizing is going on? 1:01:00 - "Intellection"? 1:02:45 - Is whatever appears in the mind a product of the mind? A product of what? Intellect? 1:04:00 - For this intellect to do what it's doing, it itself isn't one of these things, because that's the product of it. Thus intellect is not in the same class. 1:06:30 - If this is the Intellect, and you want to say there is something that is witnessing it (or aware of it), what then do you want to call that ? 1:10:15 - Two levels of recognition. Higher level is "the witness". 1:12:00 - Kensho experience 1:14:00 - Levels of reflection and self-reflection 1:17:00 - Recognizing unities 1:19:00 - Is there a difference between an idea/thought of a soul vs an image of a soul? 1:20:20 - Are thoughts different than images? 1:23:00 - The nature of insights 1:25:40 - Three levels of cognition 1:27:00 - dialogue with Regina on what witnesses an insight, and on whether a person's answer to a koan can show the roshi the depth of a person's insight/kensho/satori 1:43:15 - Communicating an experience of Mu 1:43:49 - Rod Wallbank's tape, and his story of listening to KPFK/Roy-of-Hollywood, about the McKenna brothers (Terence and Dennis) and their research into ayahuasca and pharmacology, and the central role words/logos play in these experiences.

On this episode of the podcast, we learn about Plotinus, a Neo-Platonist philosopher who lived in Rome during \"the crisis of the third century.\" We discuss the difference between religion and philosophy and question whether or not JK Rowling stole parts of Harry Potter's backstory from Plotinus' life. We also learn about Plotinus' Hierarchy of Being and use the phrase \"Polaroid picture\" more times than Outkast does in their hit song \"Hey Ya!\".

"A history of philosophy. Volume I. Greece and Rome. From the pre-socratics to Plotinus", de Frederick Copleston

Plotinus demonstrated his commitment to energeia by having devoted an entire treatise to the energeia/dynamis distinction, which seems to be important to Plotinus’ philosophical project as a whole. The article attempts to demonstrate that energeia, which is synonymous with contempla- tion (noƝsis) and being (ousia, eidos, to on, noƝton), should be translated in various ways out of respect for the fact that there are different levels of contemplation and being and that there are different ways of looking at being. It also maintains that Plotinus’ handling of energeia is generally a reaction, in both positive and negative ways, to the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. On account of delivered commentary on Enneads II, 5 (25) and VI, 2 (43), conjoined to its conclusions, the article strives for showing that Plotinus’ doctrine of energeia/dynamis unlocks his entire philosophy.

Enneads V, 1, 1-3 (Ennead V, Treatise 1, Chapters 1-3) Below is a brief review of topics covered from Scott. His more extensive notes are in the PDF in the Download Options menu on this page. 1). 1985-12-17_NSFRI Plotinus : The Soul Source, and Finding What We Have Forgotten 2). Plotinus Ennead V.I The Three Primal Hypostases Reading Chapters 1-3 from the following texts: Plotinus: The Enneads, Stephen MacKenna translation Plotinus Enneads V, the Loeb Edition, A.H. Armstrong translation The Essential Plotinus, Elmer O'Brien 3). Topics Covered A. Comparing translations throughout the video. 22:30 Pierre: It's so important when you start a work to know where the translator is.... that's the value of having several different copies in front of you , so when you get to something you enjoy looking at you can bounce back and forth to a couple of translations. Thank goodness we have different translations. B. What makes souls forget their source? 13:00 Reading McKenna's translation: "What can it be that has brought the souls to forget the father, God, and, though members of the Divine and entirely of that world, to ignore at once themselves and It? ... their regard for the mundane and their disregard of themselves bring about their utter ignoring of the Divine." C. Does the soul have the power to investigate its source? 21:00 Reading O'Brien's translation: "It is the soul which desires to know. Therefore the soul must first examine its own nature in order to know itself and decide whether it is capable of such an investigation, has an eye capable of such seeing, and whether such seeking is its function . If the things it seeks are alien to the soul, what good will its seeking do? But, if the soul is akin to them and it seeks them, it can find them." D. By what method can they be brought to seek and remember? 1:05:00 Pierre: One translation makes it a practice, the other does not . So if you're going to practice this, it's worth knowing which translation you're going to practice. In one sense, it's just a reflection: Hey, I want to show you something. But what would you have to do to do it [as a practice]? E. What is the relationship between Soul and Intelligence? 1:19:00 Reading from O'Brien: "Just as the spoken word is the image of the word in the soul, the soul itself is the image of the word in the intelligence, and is the act of the intelligence, by which a further level of existence is produced."
