Has anyone here actually achieved henosis?
>>25157466The only people coming close to achieving henosis in the Kali Yuga are monks on Mount Athos and the like.
another retarded made up word towards an unrealistic ideal no one will ever reach
>>25157544>believes others can reach the status of retard>doesn't realize a retard is one with the universe>still lives within the confines of their elementary school education>will never be retarded
>>25157466Plotinus fails to articulate a clear enough path to attaining it
>>25157466Impossible to say, because if they did, they would have no incentive to tell us.
>>25157747Plotinus did several times, according to his biography by Porphory. He told us how to achieve it:>Thus he told how, at the age of eight, when he was already going to school, he still clung about his nurse and loved to bare her breasts and take suck: one day he was told he was a 'perverted imp', and so was shamed out of the trick.https://sacred-texts.com/cla/plotenn/enn001.htm
>>25157747He followed Diotima/Socrates strategy in the Symposium:23. Sleeplessly alert--Apollo tells--pure of soul, ever striving towards the divine which he loved with all his being, he laboured strenuously to free himself and rise above the bitter waves of this blood-drenched life: and this is why to Plotinus--God-like and lifting himself often, by the ways of meditation and by the methods Plato teaches in the Banquet, to the first and all-transcendent God--that God appeared, the God who has neither shape nor form but sits enthroned above the Intellectual-Principle and all the Intellectual-Sphere.'There was shown to Plotinus the Term ever near': for the Term, the one end, of his life was to become Uniate, to approach to the God over all: and four times, during the period I passed with him, he achieved this Term, by no mere latent fitness but by the ineffable Act.To this God, I also declare, I Porphyry, that in my sixty-eighth year I too was once admitted and I entered into Union.We are told that often when he was leaving the way, the Gods set him on the true path again, pouring down before him a dense shaft of light; here we are to understand that in his writing he was overlooked and guided by the divine powers.'In this sleepless vision within and without,' the oracle says, 'your eyes have beheld sights many and fair not vouchsafed to all that take the philosophic path': contemplation in man may sometimes be more than human, but compare it with the True-Knowing of the Gods and, wonderful though it be, it can never plunge into the depths their divine vision fathoms.Thus far the Oracle recounts what Plotinus accomplished and to what heights he attained while still in the body: emancipated from the body, we are told how he entered the celestial circle where all is friendship, tender delight, happiness, and loving union with God, where Minos and Rhadamanthus and Aeacus, the sons of God, are enthroned as judges of souls--not, however, to hold him to judgement but as welcoming him to their consort to which are bidden spirits pleasing to the Gods--Plato, Pythagoras, and all the people of the Choir of Immortal Love, there where the blessed spirits have their birth-home and live in days filled full of 'joyous festival' and made happy by the Gods.
If henosis is real, then it would be knowledge, and such knowledge would not be forgotten once obtained.
>>25157747The moment I read this passage I instantly realized that the aim to achieve "oneness" with the One is just his sublimated wish to suck on the titty and so to return to primordial oneness with his mother.
>>25157646>will never be retardedBooks for this feel?
>>25157466More like henosis looking pretty fucked up haha
>>25157466I have
>>25158033my twisted world
>>25158115
>>25157466My new startup, Henny, will democratize henosis access using AI and B2B sales on the blockchain.
>>25157502There's no deeper cave of delusion in the west than that cliff of narcissism.
>>25158000It isn't.Plotinus and Plato are the only two from antiquity of whose writings every single word has been preserved.
>>25158986Really makes you think
>>25158427Based
>>25157544Still better than being an atheist materialist nihilist faggot>>25158029Extremely based. I like Plotinus even more now
>>25157466death denial slop
>>25158000Read a book outlining the basics of mysticism. Your understanding of these matters is very crude.
>>25158029>>25159088>
>>25159404read Plato lil nigga
>>25158986>It isn'tI assume he was referring to Plotinus entering and then leaving henosis, not being a permanent knowledge
>>25159446He did neitherHe was always in henosis and effortlessly talked about it simultaneously.
>>25158986>Plotinus>WritingFucking illiterate, ignorant moron. Get out of my board, you are hyle shaped as a man.
>>25159088>>25159426>>25158029This but unironically.Horus is the principle of epistrophe.And where from do you think we get the Nectar and Ambrosia of heaven from?Aphrodite's booba.Cosmic mommy.
>>25159615Are you retarded?He providentially gave Porphyry his drafts knowing Porp would be guided by Apollo to edit them without bias. Since Plotinus was a God among us.
>>25159609>>25159446See:"He could conduct a conversation with someoneabout another issue, and keep on top of the conversation without evertaking his mind from the matter he was thinking about. When the 15person he was talking to left, he would not read over what he hadalready written – as I said, his sight was not up to reading. He wouldsimply move to the next point, continuing the text as if the conversa-tion had been no interruption at all. So he kept his own companyat the same time as being with others, and never relaxed his attention 20to himself, or his constant reversion to intellect."
>>25159617This is the thread
>>25159633>or his constant reversion to intellectreversion to the intellect is not henosis with the One
i did it
>>25158029Don't we all
>>25157466Yeah, I tore my heno last fall. Still hurts like hell.
>>25157466What in the fuck is henosis?
>>25157466Annihilationism is retarded. I enjoy the material.
>>25157466Through music.>From the earth gushes sweet juice; with this, longing refreshes itself until it has imbibed fresh love of life: then the juice runs dry; rice sprouts forth unsown, satiety to abundance; then it comes to an end. Now one has to do one’s own planting, ploughing and sowing. Life’s torment begins: Paradise is lost. Music recalls it to the memory: it leads to nirvana. Who understands it? The milk that has flowed from no cow?
>>25161240>Annihilationism is retarded.NOOOOO YOU CAN'T HECKIN' REFER TO MY RETURN TO THE PRIMORDIAL UNDIVIDED GOOP AS ANNIHILATIONISM!!!11!!!!!!!
>>25157466More likely to achieve Cirrhosis at this rate
>>25160969LMAOPoint at him and laugh>he doesn't know

>>25161932howd it feel crossing the abyss
