Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 109 109. It is the same with the distance of the sun of the spiritual world, which sun is the first proceeding of the Lord's Divine Love and Divine Wisdom. The truth is that there is no distance, but that the distance is an appearance according to the reception of Divine Love and Wisdom by the angels in their degree. That distances, in the spiritual world, are appearances may be seen from what has bee... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=109 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 111 111. That this is so can hardly be comprehended by a natural idea, because in such there is space, but by a spiritual idea, such as angels have, it can be comprehended, because in such there is no space. Yet even by a natural idea this much can be comprehended, that love and wisdom (or what is the same, the Lord, who is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom) cannot advance through spaces, but is present w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=111 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 121 121. As these quarters, by virtue of their origin, which is the Lord as a sun, are spiritual, so the dwelling-places of angels and spirits, all of which are according to these quarters, are also spiritual. They are spiritual, because angels and spirits have their places of abode according to their reception of love and wisdom from the Lord. Those in a higher degree of love dwell in the east; those... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=121 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 122 122. Since the east is the point from which all quarters in the spiritual world are determined, and by the east, in the highest sense, is meant the Lord, and also Divine Love, it is evident that the source from which all things are, is the Lord and love to Him, and that one is remote from the Lord in the measure in which he is not in that love, and dwells either in the west, or in the south, or in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=122 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 124 124. THE QUARTERS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD ARE NOT FROM THE LORD AS A SUN, BUT FROM THE ANGELS ACCORDING TO RECEPTION. It has been stated that the angels dwell separate from each other; some in the eastern quarter, some in the western, some in the southern, and some in the northern; and that those who dwell in the eastern quarter are in a higher degree of love; those in the western, in a lower... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=124 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 125 125. As the quarters are various receptions of love and wisdom by angels, the variety from which that appearance springs shall now be explained. The Lord is in the angel, and the angel in the Lord (as was shown in a preceding article). But on account of the appearance that the Lord as a sun is outside of the angel, there is also the appearance that the Lord sees him from the sun, and that he sees... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=125 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 128 128. From all this it can be seen in what fallacy and consequent falsity those are, who suppose that the Lord bestows heaven arbitrarily, or arbitrarily grants one to become wise and loving more than another, when, in truth, the Lord is just as desirous that one may become wise and be saved as another. For He provides means for all; and every one becomes wise and is saved in the measure in which h... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=128 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 132 132. Since the Lord as a sun, consequently the east, is before the faces of all angels of heaven, it follows that to their right is the south; to their left the north; and behind them the west; and this, too, at every turn of the body. For, as was said before, all quarters in the spiritual world are determined from the east; therefore those who have the east before their eyes are in these very qua... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=132 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 147 147. It has been shown above that God is not in space, and that He is thereby omnipresent; also that the Divine is the same everywhere, but that there is an apparent variety of it in angels and men from variety of reception. Now since the proceeding Divine from the Lord as a sun is in light and heat, and light and heat flow first into universal recipients, which in the world are called atmospheres... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=147 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 187 187. From all this it can be seen, that one who knows nothing about discrete degrees, that is, degrees of height, can know nothing about the state of man as regards his reformation and regeneration, which are effected through the reception of love and wisdom of the Lord, and then through the opening of the interior degrees of his mind in their order. Nor can he know anything about influx from the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=187 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 289 289. All this makes evident how empty are the ideas of those who think of God as something else than a Man, and of the Divine attributes as not being in God as a Man, since these separated from man are mere figments of reason. That God is very Man, from whom every man is a man according to his reception of love and wisdom, may be seen above (n. 11-13). This truth is here corroborated on account of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=289 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 392 392. These two movements, the cardiac and the pulmonic, derive their origin and persistence from this, that the whole angelic heaven, in general and in particular, is in these two movements of life; and the whole angelic heaven is in these movements because the Lord pours them in from the sun, where He is, and which is from Him; for these two movements are maintained by that sun from the Lord. It... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=392 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 429 429. But those who are in spiritual-natural love have neither wisdom nor intelligence inscribed on their life, but only something of faith out of the Word, so far as this has been conjoined with charity. Inasmuch as these do not know what charity is, or whether faith be truth, they cannot be among those in the heavens who are in wisdom and intelligence, but among those who are in knowledge only. Y... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=429 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 8 8. From the preceding article it is evident that the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom, which in the Lord are one, and which proceed from the Lord as one, are in a certain manner imaged in everything created by Him. Something will now be said specifically about that oneness or union which is called the marriage of good and truth. That marriage is (1) in the Lord Himself; for, as has been said, the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=8 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 53 53. In order that this may be more fully understood, however, it is necessary to illustrate it. The Divine cannot regard anything but what is Divine, and it cannot regard this anywhere but in things created by itself. That this is so is evident from this fact, that no one can regard another except from what is his own in himself. He who loves another regards him from his own love in himself; while... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=53 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 77 77. Everyone is able, from his faculty called rationality, to understand that this or that good is useful to society, and that this or that evil is harmful to it; for example, that justice, sincerity and the chastity of marriage are useful to society, and that injustice, insincerity and adulterous relations with the wives of others are harmful to it; consequently that these evils in themselves are... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=77 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 116 116. Evils in the external man cannot be removed except through man's instrumentality, because it is of the Divine Providence of the Lord that whatever a man hears, sees, thinks, wills, says and does should appear to be entirely as his own. It was shown above (n. 71-95, and following numbers), that without this appearance there would be with man no reception of Divine Truth, no determination towar... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=116 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 162 162. II. MAN IS LED AND TAUGHT BY THE LORD ALONE THROUGH THE ANGELIC HEAVEN AND FROM IT. It is said that man is led by the Lord through [i.e., by means of, per] the angelic heaven and from it; but it is only an appearance that he is led through the angelic heaven while it is the truth that he is led from that heaven. The appearance that he is led through the angelic heaven arises from the fact tha... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=162 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 163 163. How the Lord from the angelic heaven leads and teaches every man will be stated in a few words. In the treatise THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM, and above in this treatise THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE, and also in the work HEAVEN AND HELL published in London in the year 1758, it has been made known from things seen and heard that the universal angelic heaven appears before the Lord as one man, and likewi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=163
