6.5 §§1–7 offer the third explanation:
§1. We all have the notion of a god which is omnipresent, and the same in each being; the Good, and Being belong to each being as such.
§2. The intelligible has to be treated using its proper principles, and leaving aside body.
§3. True unity remains in itself; other things participate in it insofar as they are able.
§4. It comes to the same thing to believe in god and to believe there is one being which is identical everywhere: everywhere that there is Soul, there is also the One and Intellect.
§5. Warnings about the image of the circle and its radii.
§6. The intelligible is one, and many and unlimited. Things press on Intellect, rather than the latter entering things.
§7. We do not possess intelligibles; we ascend towards them and become them.
§§8–10: A fourth explanation.
§8. In the participation of matter in forms, forms are not locally separate from the matter. Matter presses on the form, and takes on what it is able to.
§9. The sensible world has a single cause, one life, and a single soul.
§10. By staying within itself true Unity is able to be present to other things which depend on it.
§§11–12: A fifth explanation.
§12. On account of its unlimited and immaterial power the intelligible is present; and one can find it within ourselves by removing the non-being added to us.
