Or, again, suppose the powers coming Thence are other than their source — lesser, fainter, as a bright light dwindles to a dim — but each attached to its essence as a power must always be: such secondary powers would be perfectly uniform and at once we are forced to admit the omnipresence of the one same power or at the least the presence — as in one and the same body — of some undivided identity integral at every point.
And if this is the case with a particular body, why not with the entire universe?
If we think of the single power as being endlessly divided, it is no longer a power entire; partition means lessening of power; and, with part of power for part of body, the conditions of consciousness cease.
Further, a vestigial cut off from its source disappears — for example, a reflected light — and in general an emanant loses its quality once it is severed from the original which it reproduces: just so the powers derived from that source must vanish if they do not remain attached to it.
This being so, where these powers appear, their source must be present with them; thus, once more, that source must itself be omnipresent as an undivided whole.
