I am sensing this to be a bit of compensatory function for previously posting Langan hyper abstract TOE : )

I have not yet listened to the podcast, but just wanted to remark, Plotinus is really good spritual resource, as long we understand his participatory perspective. For him, the physical world of our senses barely existed, rather everything around him was permeated by the Spirit through and through. And the real spiritual word which gives rise to all appearances only began beyond the clouds. He did not really even sense a need to distinguish between spiritual and physical worlds. We are forced into such distinctions today and they prove useful for earliest stages of our spiritual journey, but eventually we also need to imagine and inuit Plotinus perspective without sacrificing any resolution.

You can thank Curt Jaimungal for enticing this eclectic curiosity seeker into the Langan labyrinth, in which Chris actually mentions Plotinus as a philosopher he admires, so go figure. Same curiosity then led me to stumble upon a mention of the podcast site, where Plotinus popped up again. Somehow the dots keep connecting, whichever door I open, so this eclectic curiosity seeker will carry on.
