If you identify with your body, then everyone is separate from you. If you identify with your soul, then everyone is your brothers and sisters. If you identify with the Intellect, then everyone is you. If you identify with the One, then there is nobody at all, not even you.

I am on my way to work - wanted to look more at Porohyry's lette to Marcella om my mobile device - and amissio.net has just amissio-ed! An accident of the name affecting the essence?
Nice puzzle for me anyway.

If that still doesn't work, here are alternate sites with the same content, at least: Tertullian.org (plain HTML); Archive.org (scan); Platonic-Philosophy.org (PDF)
