225. The grandest entities that have in them degrees of both kinds are the universe in its entirety, the natural world in its entirety, and the spiritual world in its entirety; every empire and every kingdom in its entirety; every civil, every moral and every spiritual element of these in its entirety; the whole animal kingdom, the whole plant kingdom, and the whole mineral kingdom, each in its entirety; and all the atmospheres of both worlds taken together, with their forms of heat and light. These entities include as well ones less general, such as the human being in his entirety, every animal in its entirety, every tree and every bush in its entirety, and every stone and every metal in its entirety. The forms of these are alike in the fact that they consist of degrees of both kinds. That is because the Divine by whom they were created, in the greatest and least of things is the same, as we demonstrated above in nos. 77-82. The particular and most elemental constituents of all these entities are like the general and most universal ones in the fact that they are forms composed of degrees of both kinds.
