But Possibly I Am Something More Than

I Have Concluded The Evident Existence Of God, And That My Existence Depends Entirely On God In All The Moments Of My Life, That I Do Not Think That The Human Spirit May Know Anything With Greater Evidence And Certitude.

By 'god', I Understand, A Substance Which Is Infinite, Independent, Supremely Intelligent, Supremely Powerful, And Which Created Both Myself And Everything Else [...] That Exists. All These Attributes Are Such That, The More Carefully I Concentrate On Them, The Less Possible It Seems That They Could Have Originated From Me Alone. So, From What Has Been Said It Must Be Concluded That God Necessarily Exists.
