Plotinus taught that the One, being superessential, can only be apprehended in ecstasy, when thought, which still distinguishes itself from its object, is transcended, and knower and known become one. As Tennyson's Ancient Sage says:

 

"If thou would'st hear the Nameless, and descend

Into the Temple-cave of thine own self,

There, brooding by the central altar, thou

May'st haply learn the Nameless hath a voice,

By which thou wilt abide, if thou be wise;

For knowledge is the swallow on the lake,

That sees and stirs the surface-shadow there

But never yet hath dipt into the Abysm."
