520 |a In Confessions, Augustine positively recollects three ascensions that he had experienced ten years earlier. Searching himself in memory, he makes self an object of rational study and thus manifests that he is still influenced by neo-Platonism even after he had been in the Catholic church for a decade. The ascension of self is in the high part of the soul, which fittingly returns to the Intellect and in turn to the One for an ultimate reunion, since the soul descends from the Intellect which emanates from the One. Among the faculties of the soul, Augustine focuses on memory, which is an internal seeing and hearing. In Christianity, the salvation of a sinner comes from the indwelling Holy Spirit. In contrast to the Enneads by Plotinus, this paper analyzes unsolved problems of Augustine, such as saving faith and a distinction between the intelligible world and the spiritual world.
