A description of the experience
Plotinus – the Enneads
To see and to have seen that Vision is reason no longer. It is more than reason, before reason, and after reason, as also is the vision which is seen. . . . And perhaps we should not here speak of sight: for that which is seen is not discerned by the seer - if indeed it is possible here to distinguish seer and seen as separate things. . --.Therefore this vision is hard to tell of : for how can a man describe as other than himself that which, when he discerned it, seemed not other, but one with himself indeed?
