The One Is Perfect

It is precisely because there is nothing within the One that all things are from it.... Seeking nothing, possessing nothing, lacking nothing, the One is perfect and, in our metaphor, has overflowed, and its exuberance has produced the new: this product has turned again to its begetter and been filled and has become its contemplator.

Plotinus
Philosopher c. 205-270 AD
