Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 68 68. Of the elevation of the interiors of man, which belong to his mind, this also should be known. In everything created by God there is reaction. In Life alone there is action; reaction is caused by the action of Life. Because reaction takes place when any created thing is acted upon, it appears as if it belonged to what is created. Thus in man it appears as if the reaction were his, because he h... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=68 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 119 119. IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD THE EAST IS WHERE THE LORD APPEARS AS A SUN, AND FROM THAT THE OTHER QUARTERS ARE DETERMINED. The sun of the spiritual world and its essence, also its heat and light, and the presence of the Lord thereby, have been treated of; a description is now to be given of the quarters in the spiritual world. That sun and that world are treated of, because God and love and w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=119 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 130 130. 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 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 154 154. The universe and all things thereof were created by the Lord, the sun of the spiritual world serving as a medium, because that sun is the first proceeding of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom, and from Divine Love and Divine Wisdom all things are (as was pointed out above, n. 52-82). In every thing created, greatest as well as least, there are these three, end, cause and effect. A created thing i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=154 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 161 161. Since times in like manner are settled and constant, they also are a property of nature; for the length of a day is constantly twenty-four hours, and the length of a year is constantly three hundred and sixty-five days and a quarter. The very states of light and shade, and of heat and cold, which cause these periods to vary, are also regular in their return. The states which recur daily are m... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=161 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 169 169. These three, namely, end, cause, and effect, are in the created universe, both in its greatest and least parts. They are in the greatest and least parts of the created universe, because they are in God the Creator, who is the Lord from eternity. But since He is Infinite, and in the Infinite in finite things are one distinctly (as was shown above, n. 17-22), therefore also these three in Him,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=169 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 171 171. To this last end creation progresses continually, through these three, namely, end, cause, and effect, because these three are in the Lord the Creator (as was said just above); and the Divine apart from space is in all space (n. 69-72); and is the same in things greatest and least (77 - 82); from which it is evident that the created universe, in its general progression to its last end, is rel... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=171 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 172 172. That these three, end, cause, and effect, are in each and every thing created, can also be seen from this, that all effects, which are called last ends, become anew first ends in uninterrupted succession from the First, who is the Lord the Creator, even to the last end, which is the conjunction of man with Him. That all last ends become anew first ends is plain from this, that there can be no... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=172 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 174 174. As regards the atmospheres, which are called ethers and airs, they are alike in both worlds, the spiritual and the natural, with the difference only that they are spiritual in the spiritual world, and natural in the natural world. The former are spiritual, because they have their form from the sun which is the first proceeding of the Divine Love and Divine Wisdom of the Lord, and from Him rec... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=174 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 185 185. Each and all things that have existence in the spiritual world and in the natural world, have conjoint existence from discrete degrees and from continuous degrees together, that is, from degrees of height and from degrees of breadth. The dimension which consists of discrete degrees is called height, and the dimension that consists of continuous degrees is called breadth; their position relati... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=185 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 193 193. That these things in their order are like ends, causes, and effects, is evident; for the first, which is the least, effectuates its cause by means of the middle, and its effect by means of the last. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=193 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 199 199. ALL PERFECTIONS INCREASE AND ASCEND ALONG WITH DEGREES AND ACCORDING TO THEM. That degrees are of two kinds, degrees of breadth and degrees of height has been shown above (n. 185-188); also that degrees of breadth are like those of light verging to shade, or of wisdom verging to ignorance; but that degrees of height are like end, cause and effect, or like prior, subsequent and final. Of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=199 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 209 209. THE OUTMOST DEGREE IS THE COMPLEX, CONTAINANT AND BASE OF THE PRIOR DEGREES. The doctrine of degrees which is taught in this Part, has hitherto been illustrated by various things which exist in both worlds; as by the degrees of the heavens where angels dwell, by the degrees of heat and light with them, and by the degrees of atmospheres, and by various things in the human body, and also... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=209 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 212 212. That the outmost degree is the complex, containant, and base of prior degrees, is clearly seen from progression of ends and causes to effects. That the effect is the complex, containant, and base of causes and ends can be comprehended by enlightened reason; but it is not so clear that the end with all things thereof, and the cause with all things thereof, are actually in the effect, and that... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=212 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 213 213. As regards love and wisdom:-Love is the end, wisdom the instrumental cause, and use is the effect; and use is the complex, containant, and base of wisdom and love; and use is such a complex and such a containant, that all things of love and all things of wisdom are actually in it; it is where they are all simultaneously present. But it should be borne in mind that all things of love and wisdo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=213 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 215 215. That the outmost in each series, that is to say, use, action, work, and doing, is the complex and containant of all things prior, has not yet been known. There seems to be nothing more in use, in action, in work, and in doing than such as there is in movement; yet all things prior are actually present in these, and so fully that nothing is lacking. They are contained therein like wine in its... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=215 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 274 274. (2) The natural mind that is a form or image of hell descends through three degrees It may be seen above (n. 222-229) that both in the greatest and in the least of all things there are degrees of two kinds, namely, degrees of height and degrees of breadth. This is also true of the natural mind in its greatest and its least parts. Degrees of height are what are now referred to. The natural min... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=274 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 291 291. This also, among other things, is shown in Part Second:-that the spiritual sun is not the Lord, but is a Proceeding from His Divine Love and His Divine Wisdom. It is called a proceeding, because the sun was brought forth out of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom which are in themselves substance and form, and it is by means of this that the Divine proceeds. But as human reason is such as to be unw... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=291
