"The man who understands a symbol not only opens
himself to the objective world but at the same time
succeeds in emerging from his personal situation
and reaching a comprehension of the universal...
thanks to the symbol, the individual
experience is - awoken - and transmuted into
a spiritual act"
- Mircea Eliade

| "ONENESS MLLR" - David MLLR. Lucerne Switzerland MMXVI. |
Henosis ἕνωσις) is the word for mystical "oneness," "union," or "unity" in classical Greek.
In Platonism, and especially Neoplatonism, the goal of henosis is union with what is fundamental in reality: the One (Τὸ Ἕν), the Source, or Monad.
The Neoplatonic concept has precedents in the Greek mystery religions as well as parallels in Eastern philosophy. It is further developed in the Corpus Hermeticum, in Christian theology, soteriology and mysticism and is an important factor in the historical development of monotheism during Late Antiquity.
Each individual as a microcosm reflects the gradual ordering of the universe referred to as the macrocosm. In mimicking the demiurge (divine mind), one unites with The One or Monad. Thus the process of unification, of "The Being," and "The One," is called Henosis. The culmination of Henosis is deification. Deification here making each man a god by unifying the concept of an external creator with themselves as creators, builders, craftmen of their own lives (one's life as their greatest work, their magnum opus), understanding the interdependence between the macro and microcosmic as the source of their activities

"As to the nature or action of this etheric unifying principle, considered as an individual soul (Haeckel's cell soul")
In the lower organic forms and animal kingdom, we need not attempt to make any guess here. We know nothing scienti-fically about it; and when science has discovered the unifying principle, the, in the physical atom, it will be time enough to pass on to that of the compound molecule, and from that to the lowest forms oforganic life. That is the scientific method, though there is a Higher Science by which these things may certainly be known - may be known from, or from; by developing within one's self the power
