Enneads by Plotinus is about the understanding of the nature of soul for which extended investigation has been done also. According to the Greek philosopher Plotinus different subject areas need to be dealt with separately which is why he has divided this particular book into six sections. Section six of Enneads basically discusses a number of important things like immortality, omnipotence, number theory, free will and omnipresence of God.
