Damascius connating the One-Being with the One and the Dyad also "solves" the apparent paradox which people throw around that Plotinus contradicts himself when he says the final goal of the soul is to either "unite" with Nous or the One. Now Nous (which Plotinus even says) is equally an aspect of the Ineffable One just as the Absolute One is (and the indefinite dyad too). Plotinus' three Hypostases are all the One, something he almost said explicitly; but he, like all prophets and poets, speaks of the Ineffable in silence through implication, for God is exalted above all understanding.
