The Universal Soul Is One and Manifold

What proceeds from the one does not perish, but that all souls and intelligences are immortal. Essence exists everywhere in that which is essence, thus never failing itself. Beings partake of the one differently according to their capacities. The different kinds of presences is the intelligible being then, so varied and manifold. It is indeed varied, but it is simultaneously simple. For reason which is the essence of the universal soul is both one and manifold.
