#Paramatma, the universal soul or supreme consciousness in #Hindu #philosophy, parallels #Neoplatonism’s concept of “The One”.
In Neoplatonism, emanation from “The One” mirrors the dynamic interplay of prakāśa (#illumination) and vimarśa (#reflection) in Paramādvaita philosophy, emphasizing a cyclical process of outflow and return.
The #Nous is compared to Paramatma but aligns more closely with Hiranyagarbha in Hindu thought due to its subordinate role to the ultimate #FirstPrinciples.
