- Of the Gods some are of the world, cosmic, and some above the world, hypercosmic. By the cosmic I mean those who make the cosmos. Of the hypercosmic Gods some create essence, some mind, and some soul. Thus they have three orders; all of which may be found in treatises on the subject.
- 1884, Joseph William Reynolds, The Mystery of the Universe, Our Common Faith[2], Kegan Paul, Trench & Company, page 102:
- It has parts of quasi-infinite density, bound together by cohesion of hypercosmic power; a mathematical or differential surface, which, inwards, is the seat of attraction to the other parts of the atom; and, outwards, it has the power of unconquerable repulsion to all that is near; so that no two atoms can beforced into contact.
- 2006, George E. Karamanolis, Plato and Aristotle in agreement?, page 320:
- as far as we know, Porphyry did not consider the divine intellect to be a hypostasis clearly distinct from the Soul, but he often designated it ‘hypercosmic soul’.
