The everlasting material universe which is formed and ruled by Soul is the best possible of its kind, the most perfect image on the level of sense-perception of its intelligible archetype, but it is immeasurably inferior to the arche - type, both because the Forms in it are the weakest reflections or expressions of the original Forms in In - tellect, and because what underlies it, matter, though derived from the spiritual realities which bring the material world into being, is a principle of opposition to them, a negative antireality which imparts some - thing of its negation to material things.
