MODIFICATIONS DERIVE FROM FOREIGN SOURCES.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
There is often a resemblance and community between exterior and interior things; in this case the soul will not any the less exercise herself on herself, will not any the less remain within herself, without feeling any passive modification. As to the modifications and troubles which may arise in us, they derive from foreign elements, attached to the soul, as well as from passions experienced by the above described common part.
