Ficino (Teologia Platônica:XVIII.2) – Anjos e almas nem sempre existiram
Estabelecemos uma hierarquia entre os corpos; estabeleçamos uma hierarquia entre os Espíritos. Há o Espírito superior, que sempre existiu e sempre existirá: é Deus.

Tratado 27 (IV, 3, 8) — Sympathy between individual and universal soul comes from common source. (Guthrie)
—

INTELLECTUAL DIFFICULTY OF THE SOUL BEING ONE AND YET IN ALL BEINGS. 4. If the universal Soul be one in this manner, what about consequences of this (conception)?
