The Universal Being

The soul could not extend herself in the entire body in the same manner as quality, as for instance sweetness or color. For these are passive modifications of the bodies, so that one must not be astonished to see a modification spread all over the modified body being nothing by itself. That is why the soul necessarily has the same magnitude as the body. What is identical in qualities is divisible, while that which is identical in the soul is indivisible. If it be said to divide, it is in the sense that it is present everywhere. The soul was capable of extension before the existence of the body. Or to then be reasonable to ask how she grew great by accident.
