Penetration first characterizes the heavenly spirit said to be in the special matter and to move through all elemental creatures. Later ingression describes the other matter's entry into the gold body with its spirit and power. The second claim is conditional: impurity or inappropriate admixture prevents entry, so a receptive body is required. The two occurrences connect active power with access, but they differ in scope. Universal permeation in the cosmological praise is not identical with the local joining of two prepared participants in the work.
