A quotation from the letter of Plotinus to Placcus

A quotation from the letter of
Plotinus to Placcus on Ecstasy:
"The wise man recognises the idea of the
Good within him. This he develops by withdrawal
into the Holy Place of his own soul. He
who does not understand how the soul contains
the Beautiful within itself, seeks to realise
beauty without, by laborious production. His
aim should rather be to concentrate and simplify,
and so to expand his being ; instead of going out
into the Manifold, to forsake it for the One,
and so to float upwards towards the Divine
Fount of Being whose stream flows within
him."

to walk in the same river twice!

In order to know what it means that you do not step in the same river twice you have to first learn how to walk in the river, or more importantly make sure the river is not dry, as if it is dry you can always step in the same spot time and time again!

Sometimes all we do is walk in dry rivers and repeat the same scene time and time again, just because we are scared about the futures yet to come, we get so involved in the river that we forget it is only a dry river, and even though there is no flow in the river, the flow that that can remind us that time is indeed passing, time is still passing and all we are doing is deny the tomorrow that already has come and denying all the is yet to come, regardless of how scared we are, it is still coming!
