The Fall of the Intellect

The idea is that the intellects are supposed to be unified with God the Son, again playing the role of an objective of intellectual contemplation and they're supposed to think purely of him. origin talks about them falling away from that contemplation and that the key word here is chorus, they have a satiety. It's almost like they get bored with thinking about this. So somehow or other their minds stray and in that straying of the minds that's what constitutes the fall. The world is there to bring them back to something like that original pure state of intellectual union.
