TRIAD
The system of Plotinus is a system of necessary EMANATION, PROCESSION, or IRRADIATION accompanied by necessary ASPIRATION or REVERSION-TO-SOURCE: all the forms and phases of Existence flow from the Divinity and all strive to return THITHER and to remain THERE.
This Divinity is a graded Triad.
Its three Hypostases - or in modern religious terminology, 'Persons' - are, in the briefest description:
1 The ONE, or First Existent.
2 The DIVINE MIND, or First Thinker and Thought.
3 The ALL-SOUL, or First and Only Principle of Life.
'Of all things the governance and the existence are in these Three.' (Stephen MacKenna)
