The Soul is Substantial and an Organized Form—Spiritual Forms are illustrated by Natural Forms—The Natural Body and Nature are composed of Like Discrete Degrees, in Similar Successive Order—Nature and the Body receive Activity in a Similar Manner—Functional Powers of the Body originate in the Affections of the Mind—The Soul is animated from the Creator—A Diagram of the Natural and Spiritual Universe illustrating their General Similarity of Form—The Creator is Present in the Soul not Bodily, but by Influx—The Universal Creation is sustained by Influx from the Creator into and through Discrete Degrees—The Unity of Plan is Universal.
