But because he possesses the power of being a paradigm essentially, hence, as * he is eternal, he will be eternally the paradigm of the world. If, however, an existence eternally is present with the paradigm, the image also will necessarily always exist; for a paradigm is a paradigm with reference to an image.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Fragments of the Lost Writings of Proclus: Arguments in Proof of the Eternity of the World: Argument the Second","tradition":"Sacred Texts: The Classics","translated_text":null,"word_count":220}
