However, it needs to be noted that, while Plotinus
regarded matter as evil, he did, however, distinguish between matter,
as a formless darkness [he combined Aristotle's idea of matter as pure
negation with Plato's idea of matter as recalcitrant] and the material
cosmos, which he regarded, not as evil, but as good: A. H. Armstrong,

The paradigm used is that developed by Ken Wilber in
No Boundaries: Eastern and Western Approaches to Personal
Growth, Boston and London, New Science Library, Shambhala,
1981. Wilber argues that there are at least four major level of human
existence, each representing greater depth and comprehensiveness. These
levels are associated with the Persona, the Ego, the Total Organism and
Unity Consciousness. I have renamed these levels. What Wilber calls the
Persona, I have called the Ego and what he calls the Ego I have called
the Self. This change safeguards a consistency in terminology and is
consistent with Jungian usage. Wilber, while appreciating Jung, is
critical of him at various points and has devised his own terminology,
which preserves the integrity of his finely-honed distinctions. For an
elaboration of Wilber's criticism of Jung consult the index in K.
Wilber, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality: The Spirit of
Evolution, Boston and London, Shambhala, 1995. Wilber argues
that a boundary runs through each of these that needs to be removed
before the next level, or depth, can be accessed. Where Jung addressed
the shadow at the Egoic level, Wilber argues that each level has its
shadow and that different therapies are appropriate in addressing this
shadow that manifests uniquely at each of the levels. |

There is a sense in which, with the emergence of the
ego, there often ensues, particularly in Western society, an egoic
dissociation with the body. There is, therefore, a consequent need to
reconnect with it at a later stage. It is important not to confuse a
pre-personal lack of differentiation from a transpersonal, intentional
re-connectedness. To confuse the two is to fall victim to what Wilber
calls the pre/trans fallacy: K. Wilber, The Atman Project: A
Transpersonal View of Human Development, Wheaton, Theosophical
Publishing House, 1985; K. Wilber, Eye to Eye: The Quest for a
New Paradigm, Garden City, NY, Anchor Books, Doubleday, 1983,

While Neo-Platonism is generally credited with
dissemination of a body/ mind or spirit dualism, Wilber argues that it
was Gnosticism, which developed dualisms incipiently present in
Neoplatonism, rather than Neoplatonism itself, that was responsible for
the persistence of this dualism and for the early, predominant
influence of the "Ascenders", those who sought to escape from the world
through meditative practice. In contrast to this escapist response,
Plotinus, in both his meditative practice and in theory, further
developed Plato's synthesis between an eros-driven ascent through
contemplation to the One and to wisdom and an agape-driven descent to
the many and to compassion. The Ascenders, whose ascendancy began to be
challenged at the time of the Renaissance, were captive to the first
movement, which was driven, in their case, not by eros, but by phobos:

Platonic and Stoic conceptions of the Logos do not
exhaust the traditions informing The Gospel of John. The
Concept of Wisdom in the Hebrew Scriptures, the
development of the concept of the Logos in Philo, together with
the substitution, in the Targums, or Aramaic paraphrases
of the Hebrew Scriptures, of the phrase, "the memre of
God", for "God", were also influential. |

S. McFague, The Body of God: An Ecological
Theology, London, SCM, 1993, 150; A distinction can be drawn
between pantheism and panentheism. Simply put, pantheism suggests that
God and the phenomenological universe are one and the same, whereas
panentheism argues that, while God's energies are the constitutive
essence of the cosmos, the cosmos is not God. Both exist in an intimate
and dynamic inter-relatedness. For a brief historical and analytical
review of the notion of pantheism, see K. Rahner [Ed.],
