I'm sure that Plotinus wasn't that impressed by the Christians.

The world around you is some kind of distraction at best, and evil at worst, and you should be turning away from it.

We do each have an intellect but there's a universal intellect which is the same for everybody, as it were. And this single intellect is grasping the platonic forms.

Sometimes clichés are true.

Plotinus thought that the entire world has a single soul. He also thought that each animal and plant and of course human, has an individual soul.
