Emanation

Definition

The most common pantheistic model: the super-substantial ‘One’ overflows from its fullness (as a cup overflowing) and generates Intellect with its ideas and the World Soul, which mediates between Intellect and the physical cosmos; developed most fully in Neoplatonism (Plotinus).
