So if Intelligible Motion is established, and it is permissible for the Intellect to connect with it due to what it deserved of the name of "Formation"; And since Motion is among the attributes that belong only to a Substance (Jawhar):
It is permissible to affirm what we presented regarding the Moving Substance being the Simple Soul. And the Soul is the carrier of the Intellect.
And the Intellect is that by which things are perceived. And the Soul is that by which one has the Power to perceive.
So Perception is an attribute of the Intellect; while Perception and Power are attributes of the Soul. Thus, the Soul contains two attributes—I mean Perception and Power—while the Intellect does not contain them both together.1
Because the Soul, which is the bearer of the Intellect, is [both] Sensory (Mahsusa) and Intelligible (Ma'qula).
