In this essay, I will show how Plotinus’ philosophical system (Neoplatonism) provides the normative order for a meaningful worldview, based on John Vervaeke’s argument in Awakening From The Meaning Crisis. Firstly, we will introduce Plotinus and his ideas. Then we will show how he utilises Aristotelian science, Stoic Spiritual exercises, and finally, introduce several important enacted symbols to describe this spiritual journey to the One.
