Very informative quote, Plotinus.
This is why I always shake my head  when I hear someone say "I just take the Bible for what it says!" (and in English to boot!).

How can you be "with" someone if you are the only one? |
Have you ever been alone with your thoughts?

Yup. But my thoughts are not someone else.
Let me ask you this -
When Jesus was alone in the desert praying to the Father, who was He praying to?

And neither are God's thoughts someone else.

You've already answered your own question. (And you answered it correctly.)
