Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 399 399. (1) Love or the will is man's very life. This follows from the correspondence of the heart with the will (considered above, n. 378-381). For as the heart acts in the body, so does the will act in the mind; and as all things of the body depend for existence and motion upon the heart, so do all things of the mind depend for existence and life upon the will. It is said, upon the will, but this m... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=399 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 422 422. (18) Love, when purified by wisdom in the understanding, becomes spiritual and celestial. Man is born natural, but in the measure in which his understanding is raised into the light of heaven, and his love conjointly is raised into the heat of heaven, he becomes spiritual and celestial; he then becomes like a garden of Eden, which is at once in vernal light and vernal heat. It is not the unde... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=422 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 39 39. The blessings, the happiness, the delights and pleasures, in a word, the joys of heaven, cannot be described in words; but in heaven they are perceptible to the feelings; for what is perceptible to feeling alone cannot be described because it does not fall into ideas of thought, and thus not into words. For it is the understanding alone that sees; and it sees the things that pertain to wisdom... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=39 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 104 104. Every man who has reached maturity has an external and an internal of thought, and therefore an external [and an internal] of the will and the understanding, or an external and an internal of the spirit, which is the same as the external and the internal man. This is clear to anyone who observes carefully the thoughts and intentions of another as exhibited in his speech and actions, and who o... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=104 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 135 135. Nevertheless, conversation with spirits, though rarely with angels of heaven, is allowed and has been granted to many for ages back. When it is granted the spirits speak with man in his native tongue, but only a few words. Those, however, who speak by permission of the Lord say nothing whatever that takes away the freedom of the reason, nor do they teach; for the Lord alone teaches man, thoug... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=135 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 153 153. I have often wondered that although the whole Christian world acknowledges that evils must be shunned as sins, and that otherwise they are not remitted, and unless they are remitted there is no salvation, yet scarcely one in a thousand understands this. Inquiry was made about this in the spiritual world, and it was found to be so. Everyone in the Christian world acknowledges it, from the exho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=153 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 159 159. That the Lord alone has life is clear from the following passages in the Word: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. John xl. 25. I am the way, the truth, and the life. John xiv. 6. The Word was God....In Him was Me; and the life was the light of men. John i. 1, 4. The Word in this passage me... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=159 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 168 168. As few know anything about the enlightenment which affects the understanding of a man who is taught by the Lord, something will now be said about it. There is an interior and an exterior enlightenment from the Lord; and there is an interior and an exterior enlightenment from man. Interior enlightenment from the Lord consists in a man's perceiving at first hearing whether what is said is true... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=168 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 157 157. That man lives from the Lord alone, and not of himself is established by the following reasons: There is one sole essence, one sole substance, and one sole form, from which are all the essences, substances and forms that have been created. This one sole essence, substance and form, is the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom, from which are all things relating to love and wisdom in man. It is al... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=157 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 183 183. It does not appear to be likely that if man saw clearly the Divine Providence and its operation he would deny God; for it would appear that if anyone saw it clearly he could not but acknowledge it and thus acknowledge God; yet the contrary is the case. The Divine Providence in no circumstance acts together with the will's love in man, but constantly acts against it. For man from his hereditar... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=183 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 197 197. II. THE AFFECTIONS OF A MAN'S LIFE'S LOVE ARE KNOWN TO THE LORD ALONE. Man knows his thoughts and consequent intentions because he sees them in himself; and as all prudence is from these, he sees that also in himself. If, then, his life's love is the love of sell, he comes into the pride of his own intelligence and ascribes prudence to himself, collecting arguments in favour of it and so rece... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=197 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 199 199. A man can reflect, indeed, upon the delight of his external affection while this delight is in harmony with the delight of some bodily sense; but yet he does not reflect upon the fact that this delight is from the delight of his affection in his thought. For example: when a fornicator sees a courtesan his eye glows with the fire of lasciviousness, and from that fire he feels delight in the bo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=199 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 252 252. 4. The worshipper of himself and of nature confirms himself against the Divine Providence when he reflects according to his perception that victories are on the side of prudence and sometimes not on the side of justice, and that it makes no difference whether the general is an upright man or not. Victories seem to be on the side of prudence, and sometimes not on the side of justice, because m... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=252 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 219 219. These points, however, shall be illustrated and established one by one. First: What temporal things are, and what eternal things are. Temporal things are all things which are proper to nature, and things which are derived from these proper to man. Things proper to nature are especially spaces and times, both having limit and termination; and things derived from them proper to man are those th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=219 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 263 263. In order that those things that have just been stated may appear more clearly, I will add what has been set forth towards the end of THE DOCTRINE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CONCERNING THE LORD (n. 60-61). This is as follows: "That God and Man in the Lord, according to the doctrine of the Creed, are not two but one Person, and altogether one as the soul and body are one, appears clea... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=263 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 276 276.* When, however, the love of the neighbour was turned into the love of self, and this love increased, then human love was turned into animal love; and man from being man became a beast, with this difference that what he perceived with the bodily senses he could make an object of thought, and could rationally distinguish one thing from another, and could be instructed, and could become a civil... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=276 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 264 264. 2. A doubt may be raised against the Divine Providence from the fact that hitherto it has not been known that in every particular of the Word there is a spiritual sense from which it derives its holiness. It may be asked, as raising a doubt against the Divine Providence, why this is revealed now for the first time, and why it has been revealed through this or that person and not through some... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=264 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 321 321. These things will now be explained in the order proposed. First: He who confirms in himself the appearance that wisdom and prudence originate from man and are in man as his own must needs see that if this were not so he would not be a man, but either a beast or a statue, when yet the contrary is true. It is in accordance with a law of the Divine Providence that man should think as of himself... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=321 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 325 325. II. THEREFORE IT IS FROM THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE THAT EVERY MAN CAN BE SAVED AND THAT THOSE ARE SAVED WHO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD AND LIVE WELL. It is clear from what has been shown above that every man can be saved. Some are of the opinion that the Church of the Lord is only in the Christian world, because there alone the Lord is known and there alone is the Word. Still, however, many believe that the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=325 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 42 42. Verse 12. And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me, signifies inversion of the state of those who are in the good of life, as to the perception of truth in the Word, when they turn themselves to the Lord. John says that he heard a voice behind him (verse 10), and now, that he turned to see the voice; and again, that being turned, he saw seven lampstands; from which it is evident, that... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=42
