INDIVIDUAL RELATION WITH GOD AND COSMIC SOUL.

What is our relation with God? He hovers over the intelligible nature,

and real being; while we, being on the third rank as counted from

thence, are of the undivided universal Soul, which[303] is indivisible

because she forms part of the upper world, while she is divisible in

regard to the bodies. She is indeed divisible in regard to the bodies,

since she permeates each of them as far as they live; but at the same

time she is indivisible because she is one in the universe.
