Theory in progress to respectfully challenge Damascius's propositions: All proceed from the One but the One is uncaused yet can cause, I suspect there to be an uncaused first principle and one that has cause, both are eternal paradigms but only one has interest to connect with us in cause, the former assists as an uncaused to create through mind (consult Syrianus's works on Aristotle's metaphysics 13-14 to better comprehend it) but hasn't created, (instead helps our process of evolution/involution) there can sighs, this is rough to keep up with RN, but other times cause without I suspect a co-partnership with "animatory" first principle which is an either/or, this would conclude logically to say there's an "irrational" lower soul (I suspect it's the God that deals with us through time and has being but has a deep unconscious that ties into Karma and other spiritual insights which we confuse with the uncaused One (not a duality of thought but it/they would still be One either/or, yet he's not omniscient and doesn't have knowledge always readily available to his subconscious which makes him "sinless", but not always true to a certain judgment" also would imply he's pretty much not omniscient to all of us in existence).
