Come scrive Macrobio, Dio, causa prima e principale delle cose, nella sua feconda maestà ha creato l'intelletto, da cui deriva l'anima che, in parte, sviluppa la ragione e Virgilio chiama intelletto l'anima mundi.
Dunque, l'uomo è un essere ragionevole, con una complessità maggiore degli altri esseri del Creato.
Therefore, since the intellect proceeds from God by the intellect and the soul that animates all things that derive from the plant, animal and man form a tightrope as a mutual bond and continuous, so that by touching one end, it will be entirely shaken and move everything connected to it.
This link can give rise to the idea of \u200b\u200bjoint or rings of a chain, and we will clarify the concept of the Rings and Plato's golden chain of Homer.
But here is about the verses of this great poet, "I can show you my power. Take a gold chain, so that long reach to the ground, and tell all your forces together to shake and pull me down. But this will not be in vain and all your hard work. As if I wanted to pull you up in heaven, I could effortlessly and with you at a time, I was easy to bring up the earth and the ocean together. And I could hook the chain to the sky and stay the whole, I am the ruler of men and gods. "
From everything we understand as God, the Creator of all things, in his providence has meant that things are governed by the upper and lower it to a necessary law of nature.
The magician, who knows all these things, connects heaven to earth and discover the secrets hidden within the nature and proves them all, so that they can praise and admire its power.
