 Signification does not only describe the relationship between creation and divinity. In addition, it describes the relationship among the different degrees of existence. Llull shares the theory—commonly used in Christian, Jewish, and Arab cultures—of a ladder of beings. It is organized based on the existence of an order—a structure that organizes things according to a purpose—which results in a hierarchy defined by similarity or difference in each degree of being ascending or descending in the ladder. In Llull’s metaphysics, these degrees are as follows: (1) Elementative, which corresponds to the four elements; (2) Vegetative, which encompasses beings capable of nutrition, growth, and reproduction; (3) Sensitive, which includes beings who are able to have sensory perception; (4) Imaginative, which includes beings who are capable of internally reproducing what they have perceived; (5) Man, as a rational being, and at the same time, participant of both the spiritual and the material field; (6) Heaven, which includes the celestial spheres; (7) Angels, pure spirits without a body; and finally (8) God, the highest step of the ladder.
