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

Proposition Cxcix.

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Proclus and Taylor, Thomas
Open passage
Every mundane soul uses periods of its proper life, and restitutions to its former state.
Open passage
For if it is measured by time, it energizes transitively, and possesses a peculiar motion.[316] But every thing which is moved and participates of time, if it is perpetual, uses periods, periodically revolves, and is restored from the same things to the same. And every mundane soul possessing motion, and energizing according to time, will have periods of motions, and restitutions to its pristine state. For every period of perpetual natures is apocatastatic, or restorative to a former condition.
