The Six Books of Proclus on the Theology of Plato, Volume 2

Proposition Lxii.

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Proclus and Taylor, Thomas
Open passage
Every multitude which is nearer to the one, is less in quantity than things more remote from it, but is greater in power.
Open passage
For that which is nearer to is more similar to the one. But the one gives subsistence to all things, without having any multitude in itself. Hence that which is more similar to it, being the cause of a greater number of effects, since the one is the cause of all things, has more the form of unity, and is more impartible, because that is one. As therefore, that which is less multiplied, is more allied to the one, so likewise as being allied to the cause of all things, it is productive of a greater number of effects. Hence it is more powerful.
Open passage
From these things it is evident, that there are more corporeal natures than souls; more souls than intellectual natures; and more intellects than divine unities. And there is the same reasoning in all things.
