In the system of Plotinus, Soul arises from Intellect through a process of emanation characterized by a double movement of outgoing and return in contemplation.1

Just as Intellect is produced by the One, Soul is produced by Intellect. This generation is timeless, meaning that while the levels of being are distinct, they are not separate and exist eternally. Soul serves as the intermediary between the world of Intellect and the world of sense, acting as the representative of the former within the latter. Its primary characteristic is movement, which serves as the cause of all other movements, including the time experienced in the physical world.1

By contemplating the Intellect from which it springs, the Soul gains the capacity to form, order, and maintain the material universe, acting as an indwelling principle of life and growth.1
