Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 48 48. VI. THE DUTCH IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. It was said above (n. 20), that Christians with whom the Word is read and the Lord is worshiped, are in the middle of the nations and people of the whole spiritual world, because the greatest spiritual light is with them, and the light is radiated thence as from a center into all the circumference even to the last boundary; and it enlightens, accord... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=48 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 18 18. That in God there are infinite things, any one may convince himself who believes that God is a Man; for, being a Man, He has a body and every thing pertaining to it, that is, a face, breast, abdomen, loins and feet; for without these He would not be a Man. And having these, He also has eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue; also the parts within man, as the heart and lungs, and their dependencie... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=18 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 20 20.

These three, namely, end, cause, and effect, are in the created universe, both in its greatest and least parts.

THE NATURAL DEGREE OF THE HUMAN MIND REGARDED IN ITSELF IS CONTINUOUS, BUT BY CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE TWO HIGHER DEGREES IT APPEARS WHEN IT IS ELEVATED AS IF IT WERE DISCRETE.

(2) There is a correspondence of the will and understanding with the heart and lungs, consequently a correspondence of all things of the mind with all things of the body.

(12) Love or the will conjoins itself to wisdom or the understanding, and causes wisdom or the understanding to be reciprocally conjoined to it. That love or the will conjoins itself to wisdom or the understanding is plain from their correspondence with the heart and lungs. Anatomical observation shows that the heart is in its life's motion when the lungs are not yet in motion; this it shows... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=410 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 13 13. It has sometimes been said that love makes the life of man; but this does not mean love separate from wisdom, or good separate from truth, in the cause; for love thus separate, or good thus separate, has no reality. Therefore the love which makes the inmost life of man, the life that is from the Lord, is love and wisdom together. Moreover, the love which makes the life of man regarded as a rec... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=13 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 91 91.

For it may be thought, What does that acknowledgment do, since the Lord is Omnipotent and wills the salvation of all, and consequently that He is able and willing to effect it, if only... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=91 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 141 141. No one is reformed in a state of mental disorder (animus), because disease of the mind takes away rationality, and consequently freedom of acting according to reason. For the mind (mens) is sick and unsound, and a sound mind is rational but not a sick one. Such disorders of the mind are melancholy, spurious and false remorse of conscience, hallucinations of various kinds, grief of mind (animu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=141 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 185 185.

But as they now see clearly the Divine Providence, and fro... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=185 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 217 217.

IV. THE CONJUNCTION OF TEMPORAL AND ETERNAL THINGS IN MAN IS THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE OF THE LORD.

It is from the Divine Providence that... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=220 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 250 250. 2.

The worshipper of self and of nature believes that dignities and w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=250 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 255 255. 2. The merely natural man confirms himself against the Divine Providence when he sees that the Mohammedan religion is accepted by so many empires and kingdoms.

The means from the exercise of which a ma... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=335 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 8 8.
