Thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom (Exod. 28:3). Joshua was filled with the spirit... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=48 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 26 26. v. Henceforth the spiritual sense of the Word will be imparted solely to him who from the Lord is in genuine truths. The reason of this is that no one can see the spiritual sense except from the Lord alone, nor unless from Him he is in genuine truths. For the spiritual sense of the Word treats solely of the Lord and His kingdom; and this is the sense in which are His angels in heaven, for it i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=26 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 40 40. The truths of the sense of the letter of the Word are in part not naked truths, but appearances of truth, and are as it were likenesses and comparisons taken from things such as exist in nature, and thus accommodated and adapted to the apprehension of the simple and of little children. But being correspondences they are receptacles and abodes of genuine truth; and are like enclosing and contai... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=40 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 74 74. The wisdom of the celestial angels surpasses that of the spiritual angels almost as much as this surpasses the wisdom of men, and the reason is that the celestial angels are in the good of love from the Lord, while the spiritual angels are in truths of wisdom from him, and wherever there is the good of love there resides at the same time wisdom; but where there are truths there resides no more... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=74 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 14 14. III. THE LAST JUDGMENT UPON THE REFORMED. In the former small work on The Last Judgment it treated of the judgment upon those who are meant by Babylon; and something of the judgment upon the Mohammedans and upon the Gentiles; but not of the judgment upon the Reformed. It was said only, that the Reformed were in the middle, arranged there according to countries; the Papists around them;... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=14 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 23 23.

The hi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=23 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 57 57. After the Last Judgment, their state was so changed, that they were not allowed to gather together in companies, as before; but ways were appointed to every love, both good and evil, which those who come from the world immediately enter, and go to a society corresponding to their love. Thus the wicked are borne away to a society which is in conjunction with the hells, and the good to a society... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=57 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 7 7. THE DIVINE IS NOT IN SPACE. That the Divine, that is, God, is not in space, although omnipresent and with every man in the world, and with every angel in heaven, and with every spirit under heaven, cannot be comprehended by a merely natural idea, but it can by a spiritual idea. It cannot be comprehended by a natural idea, because in the natural idea there is space; since it is formed out... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=7 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 65 65. THE USES OF ALL CREATED THINGS ASCEND BY DEGREES FROM LAST THINGS TO MAN, AND THROUGH MAN TO GOD THE CREATOR, FROM WHOM THEY ARE. Last things, as was said above, are each and all things of the mineral kingdom, which are materials of various kinds, of a stony, saline, oily, mineral, or metallic nature, covered over with soil formed of vegetable and animal matters reduced to the finest dus... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=65 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 102 102. In what follows it will be seen, also, that all spiritual things that originate through the heat and light of their sun, make one in like manner when regarded in themselves, but when regarded as proceeding from the affections of the angels do not make one.

Angels turn their faces constantly to the Lord as a sun, because they are in the Lord, and the Lord in them; and the Lord interiorly leads their affections and thoughts, and turns them constantly to Himself; consequently they cannot do otherwise than look towards the east where the Lord appears as a sun; from which it is evident that angels do not turn themselves to the Lord, but the Lord tur... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=130 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 160 160. Since these lowest things of nature which form the lands are dead, and are not changeable and varying according to states of affections and thoughts, as in the spiritual world, but unchangeable and fixed, therefore in nature there are spaces and spatial distances. There are such things, because creation has there terminated, and abides at rest. From this it is evident that spaces are a proper... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=160 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 191 191. From these examples a conclusion may be formed respecting those things that are not visible to the eye, for with those it is the same; for example, with the organic substances which are the receptacles and abodes of thoughts and affections in the brains; with atmospheres; with heat and light; and with love and wisdom. For atmospheres are receptacles of heat and light; and heat and light are r... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=191 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 192 192. That these degrees are homogeneous, that is, of the same character and nature, appears from what has just been said. The motor fibers of muscles, least, larger, and largest, are homogeneous. Woody filaments, from the least to the composite formed of these, are homogeneous. So likewise are parts of stones and metals of every kind. The organic substances which are receptacles and abodes of thou... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=192 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 197 197. This can be applied to all those things which have been enumerated in the preceding chapter, to the muscles, the nerves, the matters and parts of both the vegetable and mineral kingdoms, to the organic substances that are the subjects of thoughts and affections in man, to atmospheres, to heat and light, and to love and wisdom. In all these, the first is singly supreme in the subsequent things... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=197 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 200 200. All perfections increase and ascend along with degrees and according to them, because all predicates follow their subjects, and perfection and imperfection are general predicates; for they are predicated of life, of forces and of forms. Perfection of life is perfection of love and wisdom; and because the will and understanding are receptacles of love and wisdom, perfection of life... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=200 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 208 208. In a word, there are such degrees in every outmost, thus in every effect. For every outmost consists of things prior and these of their firsts. And every effect consists of a cause, and this of an end; and end is the all of cause, and cause is the all of effect (as was shown above); and end makes the inmost, cause the middle, and effect the outmost. The same is true of degrees of love and wis... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=208 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 269 269.

He derives it from the father, from whom he has a soul that is cl... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=269
