God Is The Universal Substance

Make Then Your Forecasts, My Lords Astrologers, With Your Slavish Physicians, By Means Of Those Astrolabes With Which You Seek To Discern The Fantastic Nine Moving Spheres; In These You Finally Imprison Your Own Minds, So That You Appear To Me But As Parrots In A Cage, While I Watch You Dancing Up And Down, Turning And Hopping Within Those Circles.

The Soul, In Its Power, Is Present In Some Way In The Entire Universe, Because It Apprehends Substances Which Are Not Included In The Body In Which It Lives, Although They Are Related To It.

Everything That Makes Diversity Of Kinds, Of Species, Differences, Properties... Everything That Consists In Generation, Decay, Alteration And Change Is Not An Entity, But A Condition And Circumstance Of Entity And Being, Which Is One, Infinite, Immobile, Subject, Matter, Life, Death, Truth, Lies, Good And Evil.

My Son, I Do Not Say These Are Foals And Those Asses, These Little Monkeys And Those Great Baboons, As You Would Have Me Do. As I Told You From The First, I Regard Them As Earth's Heroes. But I Do Not Wish To Believe Them Without Cause, Nor To Accept Those Propositions Whose Antitheses (as You Must Have Understood If You Are Not Both Blind And Deaf) Are So Compellingly True.

In Space There Are Countless Constellations, Suns And Planets; We See Only The Suns Because They Give Light; The Planets Remain Invisible, For They Are Small And Dark. There Are Also Numberless Earths Circling Around Their Suns.
