MEMORY OF SOUL IN THE INTELLIGIBLE WORLD.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Will she have no memory of things here below? Will she not, for instance, remember that she devoted herself to philosophy; and that, during her residence on the earth, she contemplated the intelligible world? No: for an intelligence entirely devoted to the object of its thought, cannot simultaneously contemplate the intelligible and think something else. The act of thought does not imply the memory of having thought.
