But how can a man of reason be affected by magic and drugs? His soul will resist the enchantment, and his reason will not be affected, nor will it alter his opinions..... Contemplation alone remains incapable of enchantment because no one who is self-actuated may be put under a spell; for he is One, and that which he contemplates is himself, and his reason is not deluded, but he makes what he ought and makes his own life and work. This man alone is free from enchantment who when his other parts attempt to lead him says, “none of these things are good which they declare to be so,” and instead is guided only by what he knows himself, not deluded or pursuing, but possessing it. In this way he avoids distraction. –Plotinus , tr. A.H. Armstrong, Ennead bk iv, ch iv, secs 43-44 (ca. 260 CE) | ||||
