"...the soul must have been in something
if it reascends; and if it does not, it is still somewhere; it is in some
other vegetal soul: but all this means merely that it is not crushed into
some one spot; if a Soul-power reascends, it is within the Soul-power preceding
it; that in turn can be only in the soul-power prior again, the phase reaching
upwards to the Intellectual-Principle. Of course nothing here must be understood
spatially: Soul never was in space; and the Divine Intellect, again, is
distinguished from soul as being still more free.
Soul thus is nowhere but in the Principle which has that characteristic
existence at once nowhere and everywhere."
Ennead 5.2.2
