Emanatio - Emanatio

According to this theory, the perceived image of an object is the surface of the object that is peeled off and enters the sensory organs.

The Neoplatonist Plotinus also used this metaphor to explain the relationship between the One and the world, but unlike the Gnostics, he emphasized that outflow does not mean a decrease in the substance of the One.
