Henosis

In Neoplatonism, henosis is unification with what is fundamental in reality: the One (Τὸ Ἕν), the Source, or Monad.

[citation needed] Henosis for Plotinus (204/5–270 CE) was defined in his works as a reversing of the ontological process of consciousness via meditation (or contemplation) toward no thought (nous or demiurge) and no division (dyad) within the individual (being).

This absolute simplicity means that the nous or the person is then dissolved, completely absorbed back into the Monad.

[7] Plotinus words his teachings to reconcile not only Plato with Aristotle, but also various world religions that he had personal contact with during his various travels.

[9] Within the works of Iamblichus of Chalcis (c. 245 – c. 325 AD), The One and reconciliation of division can be obtained through the process of theurgy.

[citation needed] By mimicking the demiurge, the individual is returned to the cosmos to implement the will of the divine mind.
