9. Objects / B. Unity of Objects / 1. Unifying an Object / a. Intrinsic unification

18459	Diversity arises from the power of unity [Porphyry]
	Full Idea: Diversity is born of the development of the power of unity.
	From: Porphyry (Launching Points to the Realm of the Mind [c.280], 6Enn5 42)
	A reaction: I doubt whether even Porphyry understood this, but we might say that once the principle of unification enters into nature, it will inevitably result in diversity. One all-embracing unity would be indiscernible.
