The Unity of the Universal Essence

When you say that the unity of the universal essence is in the manifold, you do not say that unity has become manifoldness. You refer to this unity the manner of existence of the multitude, seeing it in this whole multitude simultaneously. The incorporeal being must remain indivisible in itself, although the multitude of things aspire to unite itself to it and succeeds therein. If it did not remain entire, it would no more be itself; if so, it would be in several places.
