First things first @metasophical,
Thank you for the amazing comment! Just wow <3
"But this reality is basically an illusion, a way for the Demiurge the first emanation from being (awareness) to experience its own reflection."
This is a view I think about quite often. As the belief in only one being, the "oneness"—where all seperation is a curtain from the truth. If I'm not mistaken, the cave dwellers in Allegory of the Cave didn't see (were aware of) the flame inside the cave, only the shadows it gave off—an even further step removed from the truth. An asencion towards the good c: I like that concept.
I completely agree when you say;
"Here Platonism follows Buddhism saying that; the state of ’’absolute reality’' is something to experience not theorizing."
This is actually the reason why I use stories about my own experiences primarily to explain concepts or lessons that I want to pass forward. I see it far too often (especially online) where someone explains how to do something but not the thoughts that went behind it. It becomes difficult to validate the authenticity of the statements—as if they may be hearsay, or copied.
Before I got into Philosophy officially (school), I always aspired to have the ideals in my mind play out for real, while manifesting and growing towards my ideal self. The more I learn, the greater the love and serenity I experience. Lol, great question. I don't have the answer, but I would think that it is to raise everyone up to newer understandings, and expand towards knowledge. As for the formless, hmmmmm... that's one to ponder.
Action comes after thought, and I think that emotion precedes thoughts to fuel it.
Plato is the boy! Thank you again for giving me more to think on!! :D
With love,
