Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 22 22. That in God-Man infinite things are one distinctly, can also be seen, as in a mirror, from man. In man there are many and numberless things, as said above; but still man feels them all as one. From sensation he knows nothing of his brains, of his heart and lungs, of his liver, spleen, and pancreas; or of the numberless things in his eyes, ears, tongue, stomach, generative organs, and the remai... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=22 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 76 76. He who has no knowledge of God apart from time and is unable from any perception to think of Him, is thus utterly unable to conceive of eternity in any other way than as an eternity of time; in which case, in thinking of God from eternity he must needs become bewildered; for he thinks with regard to a beginning, and beginning has exclusive reference to time. His bewilderment arises from the id... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=76 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 85 85. That there is any other sun than that of the natural world has hitherto been unknown. The reason is, that the spiritual of man has so far passed over into his natural, that he does not know what the spiritual is, and thus does not know that there is a spiritual world, the abode of spirits and angels, other than and different from the natural world. Since the spiritual world has lain so deeply... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=85 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 134 134. Since the quarters are thus inscribed as it were on the angel, as well as on the whole heaven, an angel, unlike man in the world, knows his own home and his own dwelling-place wherever he goes. Man does not know his home and dwelling-place from the spiritual quarter in himself, because he thinks from space, thus from the quarters of the natural world, which have nothing in common with the qua... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=134 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 181 181. Since there are degrees of love and wisdom, there are also degrees of heat and light. By heat and light are meant spiritual heat and light, such as angels in the heavens have, and such as men have as to the interiors of their minds; for men have a heat of love similar to that of the angels, and a similar light of wisdom. In the heavens, such and so much love as the angels have, such and so mu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=181 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 188 188. I am not aware that anything has been known hitherto about discrete degrees or degrees of height, only continuous degrees or degrees of breadth have been known; yet nothing of the real truth about cause can become known without a knowledge of degrees of both kinds. These degrees therefore shall be treated of throughout this Part; for it is the object of this little work to uncover causes, tha... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=188 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 220 220. Since the powers of the whole, that is, of the body, are determined chiefly into the arms and hands, which are outmosts, "arms" and "hands," in the Word, signify power, and the "right hand" signifies superior power. And such being the evolution and putting forth of degrees into power, the angels that are with man and in correspondence with all things belonging to... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=220 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 222 222. THERE ARE DEGREES OF BOTH KINDS IN THE GREATEST AND IN THE LEAST OF ALL CREATED THINGS. That the greatest and the least of all things consist of discrete and continuous degrees, that is, of degrees of height and of breadth, cannot be illustrated by examples from visible objects, because the least things are not visible to the eyes, and the greatest things which are visible seem undistin... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=222 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 267 267. (2) A bad man abuses these capacities to confirm evils and falsities, but a good man uses them to confirm goods and truths. From the intellectual capacity called rationality, and from the voluntary capacity called freedom, man derives the ability to confirm whatever he wishes; for the natural man is able to raise his understanding into higher light to any extent he desires; but one who is in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=267 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 272 272. Now as many do not know what the nature of evil is, and that it is entirely opposite to good, and as this knowledge is important, the subject shall be considered in the following order: (1) The natural mind that is in evils and in falsities therefrom is a form and image of hell. (2) The natural mind that is a form and image of hell descends through three degrees. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=272 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 277 277. ALL THINGS OF THE THREE DEGREES OF THE NATURAL MIND ARE INCLUDED IN THE DEEDS THAT ARE DONE BY THE ACTS OF THE BODY. By the knowledge of degrees, which is set forth in this Part, the following arcanum is disclosed: all things of the mind, that is, of the will and understanding of man, are in his acts or deeds, included therein very much as things visible and invisible are in a seed or f... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=277 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 278 278. The acts of the body when viewed by the eye, appear thus simple and uniform, as seeds, fruits, and eggs do, in external form, or as nuts and almonds in their shells, yet they contain in themselves all the prior things from which they exist, because every outmost is sheathed about and is thereby rendered distinct from things prior. So is each degree enveloped by a covering, and thereby separat... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=278 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 280 280. It is the same with man's speech. The angels recognize a man's love from his tone in speaking, his wisdom from his articulation, and his knowledge from the meaning of the words. They declare, moreover, that these three are in every word, because the word is a kind of resultant, involving tone, articulation, and meaning. It was told me by angels of the third heaven that from each successive wo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=280 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 284 284. Part First of this Work treated of God, that He is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom; that He is life, and that He is substance and form, which is the very and only Esse. Part Second treated of the spiritual sun and its world, and of the natural sun and its world, and of the creation of the universe with all things thereof from God by means of these two suns. Part Third treated of degrees in whic... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=284 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 319 319. ALL THINGS OF THE CREATED UNIVERSE, VIEWED IN REFERENCE TO USES REPRESENT MAN IN AN IMAGE, AND THIS TESTIFIES THAT GOD IS A MAN By the ancients man was called a microcosm, from his representing the macrocosm, that is, the universe in its whole complex; but it is not known at the present day why man was so called by the ancients, for no more of the universe or macrocosm is manifest in hi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=319 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 320 320. But the truth that man is a microcosm, or little universe, because the created universe, viewed as to uses is, in image, a man, cannot come into the thought and from that into the knowledge of any one on earth from the idea of the universe as it is viewed in the spiritual world; and therefore it can be corroborated only by an angel, who is in the spiritual world, or by some one to whom it has... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=320 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 339 339. (2) All things that are evil uses are in hell, and all things that are good uses are in heaven. Before it can be seen that all evil uses that take form on earth are not from the Lord but from hell, something must be premised concerning heaven and hell, without a knowledge of which evil uses as well as good may be attributed to the Lord, and it may be believed that they are together from creat... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=339 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 340 340. (3) There is unceasing influx out of the spiritual world into the natural world. He who does not know that there is a spiritual world, or that it is distinct from the natural world, as what is prior is distinct from what is subsequent, or as cause from the thing caused, can have no knowledge of this influx. This is the reason why those who have written on the origin of plants and animals coul... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=340 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 350 350. There are some who are excusable for ascribing certain visible things to nature, for two reasons. First, because they have had no knowledge of the sun of heaven, where the Lord is, or of influx therefrom, or of the spiritual world and its state, or even of its presence with man, and therefore had no other idea than that the spiritual is a purer natural; consequently, that angels are in the et... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=350
