readoldthings Every conversion or return is effected through the similitude of the things converted to that to which they are converted.
For every thing which is converted hastens to be conjoined with its cause, and desires communion and colligation with it. But similitude binds all things together, just as dissimilitude separates and disjoins all things. If, therefore, conversion or return is a certain communion and contact, but all communion and all contact are through similitude — if this be the case, every conversion will be effected through similitude.
COMMENTARY
Today we have another simple one. Everything aspires to its cause, but how is its conversion to its cause effected? We learned before that every effect is both the same as and different from its cause. That which brings about the conversion is this similitude or sameness.
