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."
