For the Soul is many things, is all, is the Above and the Beneath to the totality of
life: and each of us is an Intellectual Kosmos, linked to this world by what is lowest
in us, but, by what is the highest, to the Divine Intellect: by all that is intellective we
are permanently in that higher realm, but at the fringe of the Intellectual we are fet-
tered to the lower; it is as if we gave forth from it some emanation towards that
lower, or, rather some Act, which however leaves our diviner part not in itself
diminished.
