      ABSTRACT

      Soul's making of the world of sense conforms largely to the poietic norms of Plotinian emanation that a primary activity of the progenitor contemplates its prior while it's secondary activity, iconic with respect to the first, flows downwards and generates a progeny. The descended soul or lower part of the hypostasis soul, seems to be a particular soul, and not the World Soul. The hypostasis soul adheres partially to the archetypal poiesis of Plotinian emanation. Plotinus describes the essential dual activities of soul in terms of their powers. Plotinus describes the work of soul the power or activity within it and that flowing out as something awake, so that soul can enliven that which is not alive on its own. Nature's contemplation is unquestionably inferior to that of soul and Intellect. Thus contemplation ascends from nature to soul and from soul to Intellect, growing progressively more intimate and united to contemplators.
