Chaldean Oracles 44:
(The Chaldeans) hand down an oracle concerning the entire soul as a divine triad. For (the Chaldean) himself says: “(The Father) mixed the spark of soul with two harmonious qualities, Intellect and divine Will, to which he added a third, pure Love, as the guide and holy bond of all things.”
