Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 28 28. This storehouse of material is in the highest degree necessary, because faith cannot be formed without it, for the knowledges [cognitiones] of truth and good enter into faith and make it, so that if there are no knowledges, faith cannot come forth into being, for an entirely void and empty faith is impossible. If the knowledges are scanty, the faith is consequently very small and meager; if th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=28 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 42 42. The angel said that with him who was in faith separated from charity he spoke as follows: "Friend, who are you?" "I am a Reformed Christian." "What is your doctrine and the religion you have from it?" "It is faith." "What is your faith?" "My faith is that 'God the Father sent the Son to make satisfaction for mankind, and that they a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=42 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 36 36. The difference between a man in the natural world, and a man in the spiritual world, is, that the one man is clothed with a spiritual body, but the other with a natural body; and the spiritual man sees the spiritual man, as clearly as the natural man sees the natural man; but the natural man cannot see the spiritual man, and the spiritual man cannot see the natural man, on account of the diffe... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=36 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 5 5. But that this may reach the understanding, it must needs be known positively that the Lord, because He is Love in its very essence, that is, Divine Love, appears before the angels in heaven as a sun, and that from that sun heat and light go forth; the heat which goes forth therefrom being in its essence love, and the light which goes forth therefrom being in its essence wisdom; and that so far... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=5 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 12 12. The common people in Christendom have an idea that God is a Man, because God in the Athanasian doctrine of the Trinity is called a "Person." But those who are more learned than the common people pronounce God to be invisible; and this for the reason that they cannot comprehend how God, as a Man, could have created heaven and earth, and then fill the universe with His presence, and ma... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=12 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 37 37. The Divine Providence in the reforming, regenerating and saving of men, partakes equally of Divine Love and of Divine Wisdom. From more of Divine Love than of Divine Wisdom or from more of Divine Wisdom than of Divine Love, man cannot be reformed, regenerated and saved. Divine Love wills to save all, but it cam save only by means of Divine Wisdom; to Divine Wisdom belong all the laws through w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=37 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 91 91. Such being the difference between the heat and light of the two worlds, it is very evident why those who are in the one world cannot see those who are in the other world. For the eyes of man, who sees from natural light, are of the substance of his world, and the eyes of an angel are of the substance of his world; thus in both cases they are formed for the proper reception of their own light.... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=91 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 110 110. The sun of the spiritual world appears at a distance from the angels, because they receive Divine Love and Divine Wisdom in the measure of heat and light that is adequate to their states. For an angel, because created and finite, cannot receive the Lord in the first degree of heat and light, such as is in the sun; if he did he would be entirely consumed. The Lord, therefore, is received by an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=110 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 155 155. Creation itself cannot be brought within man's comprehension unless space and time are removed from thought; but if these are removed, it can be comprehended. Removing these if you can, or as much as you can, and keeping the mind in ideas abstracted from space and time, you will perceive that there is no difference between the maximum of space and the minimum of space; and then you cannot but... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=155 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 166 166. That all things were created by the Lord through the living sun, and nothing through the dead sun, can be seen from this, that what is living disposes what is dead in obedience to itself, and forms it for uses, which are its ends; but not the reverse. Only a person bereft of reason and who is ignorant of what life is, can think that all things are from nature, and that life even comes from na... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=166 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 202 202. In the spiritual world there are three heavens, arranged according to degrees of height. In the highest heavens are angels superior in every perfection to the angels in the middle heaven; and in the middle heaven are angels superior in every perfection to the angels in the lowest heaven. The degrees of perfections are such, that angels of the lowest heaven cannot attain to the first threshold... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=202 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 235 235. Of the threefold ascent of the degrees of height this much has been said in general; but these degrees cannot here be discussed in detail, because (as was said in the preceding chapter) there must be these three degrees in things greatest and things least; this only need be said, that there are such degrees in each and all things of love, and therefrom in each and all things of wisdom, and fr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=235 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 256 256. THE NATURAL DEGREE OF THE HUMAN MIND REGARDED IN ITSELF IS CONTINUOUS, BUT BY CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE TWO HIGHER DEGREES IT APPEARS WHEN IT IS ELEVATED AS IF IT WERE DISCRETE. Although this is hardly comprehensible, by those who have as yet no knowledge of degrees of height, it must nevertheless be revealed, because it is a part of angelic wisdom; and while the natural man is unable to... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=256 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 266 266. (1) A bad man, equally with a good man enjoys these two capacities. It was shown in the preceding chapter that the natural mind, as regards the understanding, can be elevated even to the light in which angels of the third heaven are, and can see truths, acknowledge them, and then give expression to them. From this it is plain that since the natural mind can be elevated, a bad man equally with... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=266 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 299 299. Now since these three, love, wisdom, and use, are in the Lord, and are the Lord; and since the Lord is everywhere, for He is omnipresent; and since the Lord cannot make Himself present, such as He is in Himself and such as He is in His own sun, to any angel or man, He therefore presents Himself by means of such things as can be received, presenting Himself, as to love by heat, as to wisdom by... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=299 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 369 369. It is acknowledged, indeed, that man is such as his reigning love is, but only in respect to his mind and disposition, not in respect to his body, thus not wholly. But it has been made known to me by much experience in the spiritual world, that man from head to foot, that is, from things primary in the head to the outmosts in the body, is such as his love is. For all in the spiritual world ar... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=369 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 374 374. (2) There is a correspondence of the will and understanding with the heart and lungs, consequently a correspondence of all things of the mind with all things of the body. This is new: it has hitherto been unknown because it has not been known what the spiritual is, and how it differs from the natural; therefore it has not been known what correspondence is; for there is a correspondence betwee... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=374 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 405 405. That these three from the will's love follow in order in the understanding can, indeed, be comprehended by the rational man but yet cannot be clearly seen and thus so proved as to command belief. But as love that is of the will acts as one with the heart by correspondence, and wisdom that is of the understanding acts as one with the lungs (as has been shown above) therefore what has been said... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=405 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 414 414. (14) Love or the will can in like manner be elevated and can receive such things as are of heat out of heaven provided it loves wisdom, its consort, in that degree. That the understanding can be elevated into the light of heaven, and from that light draw forth wisdom, has been shown in the preceding chapter and in many places above; also that love or the will can be elevated as well, provided... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=414 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 6 6. It is acknowledged by many that there is an only substance and that this is also called the first substance, the source of all things; but the nature of this substance is not known. It is believed to be so simple that there is nothing simpler; that it may be compared to a point with no dimension; and that from an infinite number of such points the forms of dimension came into being. This, howev... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=6
