Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 19 19. That in God there are infinite things, is still more evident to the angels from the heavens in which they dwell. The whole heaven, consisting of myriads of myriads of angels, in its universal form is like a man. So is each society of heaven, be it larger or smaller. From this, too, an angel is a man, for an angel is a heaven in least form. (This is shown in the work Heaven and Hell, n. 51-86.... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=19 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 74 74. From the above it can be seen that time makes one with thought from affection; for from that is the quality of man's state. And with progressions of time, in the spiritual world, distances in progress through space coincide; as may be shown from many things. For instance, in the spiritual world ways are actually shortened or are lengthened in accordance with the longings that are of thought fr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=74 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 116 116. It shall now be explained how it comes that an angel perceives and feels as his, and thus receives and retains that which yet is not his; for, as was said above, an angel is not an angel from what is his, but from those things which he has from the Lord. The essence of the matter is this:- Every angel has freedom and rationality; these two he has to the end that he may be capable of receiving... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=116 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 142 142. Since these two loves, love to the Lord and love of rule springing from love of self, are wholly opposed to each other, and since all who are in love to the Lord turn to the Lord as a sun (as was shown in the preceding article), it can be seen that all who are in the love of rule springing from love of self, turn their backs to the Lord. They thus face in opposite directions, because those wh... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=142 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 178 178. Atmospheres, waters, and lands are here specified, because these three are generals, through and from which each and all things have their form [existunt] in infinite variety. The atmospheres are the active forces, the waters are the mediate forces, and the lands are the passive forces, from which all effects have existence. These three forces are such in their series solely by virtue of life... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=178 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 182 182. But degrees of spiritual heat cannot be described from experience, because love, to which spiritual heat corresponds, does not come thus under ideas of thought; but degrees of spiritual light can be described, because light pertains to thought, and therefore comes under ideas of thought. Yet degrees of spiritual heat can be comprehended by their relation to the degrees of light, for the two a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=182 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 196 196. When it is said that degrees are such in respect to each other, the meaning is that substances are such in their degrees. This manner of speaking by degrees is abstract, that is, universal, which makes the statement applicable to every subject or thing which is in degrees of this kind. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=196 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 219 219. But let application of this be made to living conatus, and to living force, and to living motion. Living conatus in man, who is a living subject, is his will united to his understanding; living forces in man are the interior constituents of his body, in all of which there are motor fibers interlacing in various ways; and living motion in man is action, which is produced through these forces b... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=219 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 255 255. (5) The nature of the difference between the life of a natural man and the life of a beast. This difference will be particularly discussed in what follows, where Life will be treated of. Here it may be said only that the difference is that man has three degrees of mind, that is, three degrees of understanding and will, which degrees can be opened successively; and as these are transparent, ma... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=255 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 263 263. But when the spiritual mind is open the state of the natural mind is wholly different. Then the natural mind is arranged in compliance with the spiritual mind, and is subordinated to it. For the spiritual mind acts upon the natural mind from above or within, and removes the things therein that react, and adapts to itself those that act in harmony with itself, whereby the excessive reaction is... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=263 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 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 310 310. (1) In lands there is a conatus to produce uses in forms, that is, forms of uses. That there is this conatus in lands, is evident from their source, since the substances and matters of which lands consist are endings and closings of atmospheres which proceed as uses from the spiritual sun (as may be seen above, n. 305, 306). And because the substances and matters of which lands consist are fr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=310 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 328 328. By man, to whom uses have relation, is meant not alone an individual but an assembly of men, also a society smaller or larger, as a commonwealth, kingdom, or empire, or that largest society, the whole world, for each of these is a man. Likewise in the heavens, the whole angelic heaven is as one man before the Lord, and equally every society of heaven; from this it is that every angel is a man... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=328 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 349 349. THE VISIBLE THINGS IN THE CREATED UNIVERSE BEAR WITNESS THAT NATURE HAS PRODUCED AND DOES PRODUCE NOTHING, BUT THAT THE DIVINE OUT OF ITSELF, AND THROUGH THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, HAS PRODUCED AND DOES PRODUCE ALL THINGS. Speaking from appearances, most men say that the sun by heat and light produces whatever is to be seen in plains, fields, gardens, and forests; also that the sun by its hea... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=349 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 359 359. Man cannot be an image of God, after His likeness, unless God is in him and is his life from the inmost. That God is in man and, from the inmost, is his life, follows from what has been shown above (n. 4-6), that God alone is life, and that men and angels are recipients of life from Him. Moreover, that God is in man and that He makes His abode with him, is known from the Word; for which reaso... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=359 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 381 381. The heavens are divided into two kingdoms, one called celestial, the other spiritual; in the celestial kingdom love to the Lord reigns, and in the spiritual kingdom wisdom from that love. The kingdom where love reigns is called heaven's cardiac kingdom, the one where wisdom reigns is called its pulmonic kingdom. Be it known, that the whole angelic heaven in its aggregate represents a single m... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=381
