everlasting, endless and painless power. The second kind
is the acquired mind and this kind gets its power from the
full mind that acts as a container of everything; it is the
beginner of before all ages. He also said lhat it is a light
from the complete mind that lights the soul and does not
unite because it is a simple essence and every simple
essence does not divide and what can not be divided can
not have a kind, and what does not have a kind can not
have a type and what can not have a type can not have a
part. The rise of limits is by the kind, type and part, so
when it does not have a kind you cannot limit it vet you
can limit the soul even if it was a simple essence and that is
because it unites with the body and formed with the light
of the mind. Then he said that the soul is a small power;
has knowledge of its own and recognizes things because
the soul is a formed essence.
Aristotle answered Bandaklces back from Aphlatoons |
philosophy and said, that even' formed element can be
untied and what you get untied is likely to be ruined, so he
said how it is a simple essence vet it is also a formed
essence. Bandaklees said that he meant with the first that
the essence has limits and with the formed he meant that
the essence has a description and it gets that its light front
the mind, so Aphlatoon and Saritoos agreed with:
Bandaklees.
Bandaklees add also saying that the soul is a simpk?]
essence accepts all the pictures of things, its shapes and its
colors. Then he said that we need to know that the soul is
united with the body and not printed in it. The senses are
printed and not united in the soul. What is printed cannot
be apart of what it is printed in, but every united par:
be apart of what it is united with just as everything printed
