Hence there is a twofold death; the one, indeed, universally known, in which the body is liberated from the soul; but the other peculiar to philosophers, in which the soul is liberated from the body. Nor does the one entirely follow the other. —Porphyry, from 'Auxiliaries to the Perception of Intelligible Natures'

im reading a very interesting passage by porphyrius on divine statues and he talks about their attire. he basically says that statues that are naked act in the noetic and uranian fields, while statues that are covered up mean that the god is acting down here. if they have parts of their bodies uncovered, they act in both fields.
