‘Think for a minute approximately what electrical energy is and the way we use it, and you'll have a few thought, despite the fact that approximate, of God. We use electrical energy to heat and light our homes, and tool every kind of machines and home equipment, yet we need to be very cautious of ways we deal with it, for you can reason an twist of fate. Direct touch with an electrical present might be deadly. as a way to harness and use it with no risk, we need to channel it via transformers. an analogous will be stated of God: God is sort of a natural present of electrical energy which has to go through transformers earlier than it reaches us. And the transformers that God makes use of are the numerous luminous beings that populate the heavens, identified to culture because the choirs of angels or angelic hierarchies. it truly is via them that we obtain divine lifestyles; it really is via them that we will keep up a correspondence with God.’

Plotinus (204/5-270 CE) was once the 1st and maximum of Neoplatonic philosophers. His writings have been edited via his disciple Porphyry, who released them a long time after his master's dying in six units of 9 treatises every one (the Enneads).
Plotinus seemed Plato as his grasp, and his personal philosophy is a profoundly unique improvement of the Platonism of the 1st centuries of the Christian period and the heavily similar considered the Neopythagoreans, with a few affects from Aristotle and his fans and the Stoics, whose writings he knew good yet used seriously. he's a different blend of mystic and Hellenic rationalist.

Sample text
The vertical organization of the Sephirotic Tree means that there is a base and a summit, but Elohim Gibor, for example, is exactly the same God as Shadai El Bai, El, or Ehieh.
Below them, the Principalities, Archangels, and Angels are a second reflection. And it is up to us now to make the effort to become the third reflection of that divine perfection by learning to work with all the love of our hearts, all the light of our minds, and all the strength of our wills. IT When you wake up in the morning, why not start your day by thinking of all those creatures of light going up and down between the earth and the throne of God? If you did this, your whole day would be illuminated.
