Appearances Are A Glimpse Of The Unseen.

Wrongly Do The Greeks Suppose That Aught Begins Or Ceases To Be; For Nothing Comes Into Being Or Is Destroyed; But All Is An Aggregation Or Secretion Of Preexisting Things; So That All Becoming Might More Correctly Be Called Becoming Mixed, And All Corruption, Becoming Separate.

The Greeks Are Wrong To Recognize Coming Into Being And Perishing; For Nothing Comes Into Being Nor Perishes, But Is Rather Compounded Or Dissolved From Things That Are. So They Would Be Right To Call Coming Into Being Composition And Perishing Dissolution.

And Since The Portions Of The Great And The Small Are Equal In Number, So Too All Things Would Be In Everything. Nor Is It Possible That They Should Exist Apart, But All Things Have A Portion Of Everything.

All Other Things Have A Portion Of Everything, But Mind Is Infinite And Self-ruled, And Is Mixed With Nothing But Is All Alone By Itself.

Neither Is There A Smallest Part Of What Is Small, But There Is Always A Smaller (for It Is Impossible That What Is Should Cease To Be). Likewise There Is Always Something Larger Than What Is Large.
