i can believe that's what he said, but lets be real: you think they passed this down for like 500 years until finally great plotinus suddenly chose to reveal these secret teachings.  also plotinus generally sounds like he was a massive grandiose narcissist. his student told a story where some super harcore mages try to curse him, but the curses just automatically reflected and ended up cursing the other dudes. also some agyptian priest revealed that his spirit animal was a god and not just some normal shitty animal like everybody else has. he certainly had some cool ideas and was probably kinda smart, but also sounds like a massive douchebag desu.
