Guthrie: Tratado 6,1 (IV,8,1) — A experiência do êxtase leva a questões
THE EXPERIENCE OF ECSTASY LEADS TO QUESTIONS. 1. On waking from the slumber of the body to return to myself, and on turning my attention from exterior things so as to concentrate it on myself, I often observe an alluring beauty, and I become conscious of an innate nobility. Then I live out a higher…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,8 (IV,8,8) — Possibilidade para a alma de governar o corpo
8. And – if it is desirable to venture the more definite statement of a personal conviction clashing with the general view – even our human soul has not sunk entire; something of it is continuously in the Intellectual Realm, though if that part, which is in this sphere of sense, hold the mastery, or…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,7 (IV,8,7) — O estatuto intermediário da alma entre o sensível e o inteligível
7. The Kind, then, with which we are dealing is twofold, the Intellectual against the sensible: better for the soul to dwell in the Intellectual, but, given its proper nature, it is under compulsion to participate in the sense-realm also. There is no grievance in its not being, through and through, the highest; it holds…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,6 (IV,8,6) — A potência herdada do Uno se estende à totalidade do real
6. Something besides a unity there must be or all would be indiscernibly buried, shapeless within that unbroken whole: none of the real beings [of the Intellectual Kosmos] would exist if that unity remained at halt within itself: the plurality of these beings, offspring of the unity, could not exist without their own nexts taking…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,5 (IV,8,5) — A descida da alma é ao mesmo tempo voluntária e necessária
5. It is possible to reconcile all these apparent contradictions – the divine sowing to birth, as opposed to a voluntary descent aiming at the completion of the universe; the judgement and the cave; necessity and free choice – in fact the necessity includes the choice-embodiment as an evil; the Empedoclean teaching of a flight…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,4 (IV,8,4) — A queda das almas individuais
4. So it is with the individual souls; the appetite for the divine Intellect urges them to return to their source, but they have, too, a power apt to administration in this lower sphere; they may be compared to the light attached upwards to the sun, but not grudging its presidency to what lies beneath…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,3 (IV,8,3) — Comparação entre a alma e o Intelecto
3. The Human Soul, next; Everywhere we hear of it as in bitter and miserable durance in body, a victim to troubles and desires and fears and all forms of evil, the body its prison or its tomb, the kosmos its cave or cavern. Now this does not clash with the first theory [that of…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,2 (IV,8,2) — A bem-aventurada governança do corpo
2. Enquiring, then, of Plato as to our own soul, we find ourselves forced to enquire into the nature of soul in general – to discover what there can be in its character to bring it into partnership with body, and, again, what this kosmos must be in which, willing unwilling or in any way…

MacKenna: Tratado 6,1 (IV,8,1) — Interrogação sobre as condições da descida da alma no corpo
1. Many times it has happened: Lifted out of the body into myself; becoming external to all other things and self-encentered; beholding a marvellous beauty; then, more than ever, assured of community with the loftiest order; enacting the noblest life, acquiring identity with the divine; stationing within It by having attained that activity; poised above…

Enéada IV, 8, 8 — Possibilidade para a alma de governar o corpo
8. Si hemos de atrevemos a manifestar nuestra opinión, contraria a la de los demás, diremos que no es verdad que ningún alma, ni siquiera la nuestra, se hunda por entero en lo sensible, ya que hay en ella algo que permanece siempre en lo inteligible. Si domina la parte que está hundida en lo…
