Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 16 16. VII. THE LORD DOES NOT SUFFER THAT ANYTHING SHOULD BE DIVIDED; THEREFORE IT MUST BE EITHER IN GOOD AND AT THE SAME TIME IN TRUTH, OR IN EVIL AND AT THE SAME TIME IN FALSITY. The Divine Providence of the Lord has especially for its end that a man should be in good and at the same time in truth, and for this it works; for thus a man is his own good and his own love, and also his own truth and hi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=16 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 71 71. 1.

It is well known that man has the freedom of thinking and willing as he pleases, but not the freedom to say whatever he thinks and to do whatever he wills. Therefore the freedom that is here meant is spiritual freedom, and not natural freedom, except when the two make one; for thinking and willi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=71 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 107 107.

The life's love is the tree, the branches with their leaves are the affections of good an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=107 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 210 210. VII. NONE OF THESE THINGS CAN BE EFFECTED UNLESS IT APPEARS TO MAN THAT HE THINKS FROM HIMSELF AND DISPOSES FROM HIMSELF.

From this it follows that if man as from his own prudence did not disp... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=210 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 233 233.

First: Evil and good cannot exist together in man's interiors, and consequently neither can the falsity of evil and the truth of good. By man's interiors is meant the inter... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=233 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 276 276.* When, however, the love of the neighbour was turned into the love of self, and this love increased, then human love was turned into animal love; and man from being man became a beast, with this difference that what he perceived with the bodily senses he could make an object of thought, and could rationally distinguish one thing from another, and could be instructed, and could become a civil... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=276 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 277 277.

The evil that is within is, that he does good for the sake of self, and th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=277 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 303 303. In order, however, that the nature of heaven and hell may be more clearly understood, let the delights of good be substituted for the affections of good, and the delights of evil for the lusts of evil; for there are no affections and no lusts without their delights, because delights constitute the life of everyone. These delights are what are distinguished and conjoined in the manner describe... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=303 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 306 306. From the idea of heaven now given it may be evident what is the nature of the mind of man; for, as has been said, man's mind or spirit is either a heaven or a hell in its least form, that is, his interiors are nothing but affections and thoughts arising from these, distinguished into genera and species as into greater and lesser societies, and so connected as to act as one; and that the Lord... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=306 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 318 318. But how man's state is changed by the confirmations of falsities and persuasions derived from them will now be explained in the following order: 1. There is nothing that cannot be confirmed, and falsity more readily than truth. 2. Truth does not appear when falsity is confirmed, but falsity appears from confirmed truth. 3. To be able to confirm whatever one pl... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=318 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 322 322. CHAPTER XII EVERY MAN MAY BE REFORMED, AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PREDESTINATION It is a dictate of sound reason that all are predestined to heaven, and no one to hell; for all are born men, and consequently the image of God is in them.
