Agrippa's Diary
-
Henosis is the ancient Greek concept of the soul's ascent to reunite with the One, the ineffable, primordial source of all creation.
-
This path, described in Neoplatonism, involves ethical purification, philosophical contemplation, and mystical practices aimed at dissolving the ego and realizing the unity of all things.
-
Unlike other spiritual paths that emphasize insight or salvation, Henosis represents the complete absorption of the individual soul into the divine, where all distinctions between self and the One disappear. This mystical union, beyond words or thought, reflects the ultimate fulfillment of the soul's deepest longing, a return to the source from which all life emanates, erasing the illusion of separateness and achieving true spiritual unity.
