Hard to tell, but I suspect that the tangible element is non-accidental. Perhaps, because unlike vision, touch is not a distal sense and so conveys an intimate unity. (Think of Plotinus "touching" the One.)

Jung’s contribution was so massive and significant because, as far as I was then aware, no one since Plotinus (3rd CE) and Marsilio Ficino in Renaissance Italy had explored the soul as a living cosmic entity rather than an abstract concept.~Anne Baring, The Dream of the Cosmos

Beautiful bit of science: everything is ultimately affected by everything else

There is a particular kind of tiredness that comes from wanting things you have decided you should not want. You have a good evening, a decent meal, company you love, and afterwards you sit with the strange flatness of having wanted it to last…

Plotinus left fifty-four unarranged treatises; his student Porphyry made them a book. On a philosophy that maps the soul's climb from virtue to the One.

What if everything in existence comes from One Source?
Plotinus taught that all reality flows from a single, unnameable principle, and that the many were never truly separate from the One.
Perhaps wisdom begins when we ask what unites the parts.

We worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, but they aren't beyond scholarly scrutiny. Intellectual genealogy of Sri Aurobindo for instance extends from Homer, Heraclitus, and Plotinus to Mathew Arnold, Max Théon, and Nietzsche. So respect for West is a must. #TusarNathMohapatra
