A8-9-10: SIMBOLOS ALQUÍMICOS
A12: Oneness
Enosis is the word for mystical “Oneness”,
“Union”, or “Unity in classical greek. in
platonism, and especially neoplatonism, the
goal of Henosis is Union with what is
fundamental in Reality: the One, the Source,
or Monad. The Neoplatonic concept has
precedents in the Greek mystery religions as
well as parallels in eastern philosophy.
To get closest to the monad, one, each
individual must engage in divine work
(Theurgy). This divine work can be defined as
each individual dedicating their lives to
making the created world and mankind`s
relationship to it. This is done by living a
virtuous life seeking after one`s magnum
opus. Under the teachings of lamblichus, one
goes through a series of Theurgy or rituals
that unites the initial to the monad.
These rituals mimic the ordering of the chaos
of the universe into the material world or
cosmos. They also mimic the actions of the
demiurge as the creator of the material
world.
Each individual as a microcosm reflects the
gradual ordering of the universe referred to
as the macrocosm. In mimicking the
demiurge (divine mind), one unites with the
one or monad. Thus the process of
unification, of “The being,∙ and “the one”, is
called Henosis. The culmination of enosis is
deification. Deification here making each
man a god by unifying the concept of an
external creator with themselves as creators,
builders, craftsmen of their own lives (one`s
life as their greatest work, their magnum
opus), understating the interdependence
between the macrocosmic and microcosmic
as the source of their activities.
