To what shall the movement of the (universal) Soul be attributed? To whatever we may choose to attribute it. This will always be some indivisible principle, such as primary Motion, which within its duration contains all the others, and is contained by none other;[466] for it cannot be contained by anything; it is therefore genuinely primary. The same obtains with the universal Soul. APPROVAL OF ARISTOTLE: TIME IS ALSO WITHIN US. Is time also within us?[467] It is uniformly present in the universal Soul, and in the individual souls that are all united together.[468] Time, therefore, is not parcelled out among the souls, any more than eternity is parcelled out among the (Entities in the intelligible world) which, in this respect, are all mutually uniform.
