Table of Contents

 
Part FIRST

Love is the Life of Man 1, 2, 3,
God Alone, Consequently the Lord, is Love Itself, Because He is Life Itself and Angels and Men are Recipients of Life 4, 5, 6,
The Divine is not in space 7, 8, 9, 10,
God is Very Man 11, 12, 13,
In God-Man Esse and Existere are One Distinctly 14, 15, 16,
In God-Man Infinite things are One Distinctly 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22,
There is One God-Man, from Whom all things Come 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,
The Divine Essence Itself is Love and Wisdom 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33,
Divine Love is of Divine Wisdom, and Divine Wisdom is of Divine Love 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are Substance and are Form 40, 41, 42, 43,
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are Substance and Form in Itself, thus the Very and the Only 44, 45, 46,
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom Must Necessarily have Being (Esse) and have Form (Existere) in others created by Itself 47, 48, 49, 50, 51,
All things in the Universe were created from the Divine Love And The Divine Wisdom of God-Man 52, 53, 54,
All things in the created Universe are Recipients of the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom of God-Man 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60,
All created things have Relation in a kind of Image to Man 61, 62, 63, 64,
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 65, 66, 67, 68,
The Divine, apart from space, fills all spaces of the Universe 69, 70, 71, 72,
The Divine is in all Time, apart from Time 73, 74, 75, 76,
The Divine in things Greatest and Least is the same 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82,
 
Part SECOND
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom Appear in the Spiritual World as a Sun 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88,
Out of the Sun that takes Form (Existit) from the Divine Love And The Divine Wisdom, Heat and Light Go Forth 89, 90, 91, 92,
The Sun of the Spiritual World is not God, But is a Proceeding from the Divine Love and Divine Wisdom of God-Man; so also are the Heat and Light from that Sun 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98,
Spiritual Heat and Light in Proceeding from the Lord as a Sun, make One, just as His Divine Love and Divine Wisdom Make One 99, 100, 101, 102,
The Sun of the Spiritual World Appears At a Middle Altitude, far Off from the Angels, like the Sun of the Natural World from Men 103, 104, 105, 106, 107,
The Distance Between the Sun and the Angels in the Spiritual World is an Appearance According to Reception by Them of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom 108, 109, 110, 111, 112,
Angels are in the Lord, and the Lord in Them; and because Angels are Recipients, the Lord Alone is Heaven 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118,
In the Spiritual World the East is where the Lord Appears as A Sun, and from that the other Quarters are Determined 119, 120, 121, 122, 123,
The Quarters in the Spiritual World are not from the Lord as A Sun, But from the Angels According to Reception 124, 125, 126, 127, 128,
Angels turn their Faces Constantly to the Lord as a Sun, and Thus Have the South to the Right, the North to the Left, and the West Behind Them 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134,
All Interior things of the Angels, both of Mind and Body, Are Turned to the Lord as a Sun 135, 136, 137, 138, 139,
Every Spirit, Whatever His Quality, Turns in like manner to His Ruling Love 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145,
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom Proceeding from the Lord as a Sun and Producing Heat and Light in Heaven, are the Proceeding Divine, Which is the Holy Spirit 146, 147, 148, 149, 150,
The Lord created the Universe and all things of it by Means of The Sun which is the First Proceeding of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156,
The Sun of the Natural World is Pure Fire, consequently Dead; Nature also is Dead, Because it derives its Origin from that Sun 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162,
Without a Double Sun, One Living and the other Dead, No Creation is Possible 163, 164, 165, 166,
The End of Creation has Form (existat) in Outmosts, which End Is That all things May Return to the Creator and that there May Be Conjunction 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172,
 
Part THIRD
In the Spiritual World there are Atmospheres, Waters and Lands, Just as in the Natural World; Only the Former are Spiritual, while The Latter are Natural 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178,
There are Degrees of Love and Wisdom, Consequently Degrees of Heat And Light also Degrees, of Atmospheres 179, 180, 181, 182, 183,
Degrees are of a Twofold Kind, Degrees of Height and Degrees of Breadth 184, 185, 186, 187, 188,
Degrees of Height are Homogeneous, and One is from the other in Succession like End, Cause, and Effect 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194,
The First Degree is the all in Everything of the Subsequent Degrees 195, 196, 197, 198,
All Perfections Increase and Ascend along with Degrees and According to Them 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204,
In Successive Order the First Degree Makes the Highest, and the Third the Lowest; But in Simultaneous Order the First Degree Makes the Innermost, and the Third the Outermost 205, 206, 207, 208,
The Outmost Degree is the Complex, Containant and Base of the Prior Degrees 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216,
The Degrees of Height are in Fullness and in Power in their Outmost Degree 217, 218, 219, 220, 221,
There are Degrees of both kinds in the Greatest and in the Least of all created Things 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229,
In the Lord the Three Degrees of Height are Infinite and Uncreate, But in Man the Three Degrees are Finite and Created 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235,
These Three Degrees of Height are in Every Man from Birth, and Can Be Opened Successively; And, as they are Opened, Man is in the Lord and the Lord in Man 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241,
Spiritual Light flows in with Man through Degrees, But not Spiritual Heat, Except so Far as Man Flees from Evils as Sins and Looks to the Lord 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247,
Unless the Higher Degree which is the Spiritual is Opened in Man, He Becomes Natural and Sensual 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255,
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 256, 257, 258, 259,
The Natural Mind, Since it is the Covering and Containant of the Higher Degrees of the Human Mind, is Reactive; and If the Higher Degrees are not Opened it Acts Against Them, But If they are Opened it Acts with Them 260, 261, 262, 263,
The Origin of Evil is from the Abuse of the Capacities Proper to Man, that are called Rationality and Freedom 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270,
Evils and Falsities are in Complete Opposition to Goods and Truths, Because Evils and Falsities are Diabolical and Infernal, While Goods and Truths are Divine and Heavenly 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276,
All things of the Three Degrees of the Natural Mind are Included in the Deeds that are Done by the Acts of the Body 277, 278, 279, 280, 281,
 
Part FOURTH
The Lord from Eternity, Who is Jehovah, created the Universe and all things Thereof from Himself, and not from Nothing 282, 283, 284,
The Lord from Eternity, that is, Jehovah, could not have created the Universe and all things Thereof Unless He were a Man 285, 286, 287, 288, 289,
The Lord from Eternity, that is, Jehovah, Brought Forth from Himself the Sun of the Spiritual World, and from that created the Universe and all things Thereof 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295,
There are in the Lord Three things that are the Lord, the Divine of Love, the Divine of Wisdom, and the Divine of Use; and These Three are Presented in Appearance Outside of the Sun of the Spiritual World, the Divine of Love by Heat, the Divine of Wisdom by Light and the Divine of Use by the Atmosphere which is their Containant 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301,
The Atmospheres, of which there are Three both in the Spiritual and in the Natural World, in their Outmosts Close Into Substances and Matters Such as are in Lands 302, 303, 304,
In the Substances and Matters of which Lands are Formed there is Nothing of the Divine in Itself, But Still they are from the Divine in Itself 305, 306,
All Uses, which are Ends of Creation are in Forms, which Forms they take from Substances and Matters Such as are in Lands 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318,
All things of the created Universe, Viewed in Reference to Uses Represent Man in an Image, and This Testifies that God is a Man 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326,
All things created by the Lord are Use; they are Uses in the Order, Degree, and Respect in which they have Relation to Man, and through Man to the Lord, from Whom (They Are) 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335,
Evil Uses were not created by the Lord, but originated Together with Hell 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348,
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 349, 350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356, 357,
 
Part FIFTH
Two Receptacles and Abodes for Himself, called Will and Understanding, have Been created and Formed by the Lord in Man the Will for His Divine Love, and the Understanding for His Divine Wisdom 358, 359, 360, 361,
Will and Understanding, which are the Receptacles of Love and Wisdom, are in the Brains, in the Whole and in Every Part of Them, and Therefrom in the Body, in the Whole and in Every Part of It 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370,
There is a Correspondence of the Will with the Heart, and of the Understanding with the Lungs 371, 372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393,
From the Correspondence of the Heart with the Will and of the Lungs with the Understanding, Everything May Be Known that Can Be Known About the Will and Understanding, Or About Love and Wisdom, Therefore About the Soul of Man 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431,
