The Unity of Vision


"The First Nature is present to all things. Present? But how? Like one single Life which is within all things. In a living being, Life does not penetrate as far as a certain point and then stop, as if it could not spread to the entire being; rather, it is present in every part of it... If you can grasp the inexhaustible infinity of Life - its tireless, unwearied, unfailing nature, as if boiling over with life - it will do you no good to fix your gaze on one spot, or concentrate your attention on any given object: you will not find it there. Rather, the exact opposite would happen to you." - Plotinus
