Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Divine Attributes Including Also the Divine Trinity: A Treatise on the Divine Love and Wisdom and Correspondence
The first and primary thought, which opens heaven to man, is thought concerning God; the reason is, be cause God is the All of heaven, insomuch that whether we speak of heaven or of God it is the same thing; the divine (principles) which make the angels, of whom heaven consists, to be angels, taken together, are God; and hence it is, that thought concerning God is the first and primary of all thoughts which open heaven to man, for it is the head and sun of all truths and loves celestial and spiritual. But there is given the thought of light and there is given the thought of love; the thought of light alone being the knowledge that God is, which appears as acknowledgment, but still is not so. By the thought of light man hath presence in heaven, but not conjunction with heaven: for the light of thought alone, doth not conjoin, but exhibits man present to the Lord and to the angels, inasmuch as that light is like winter-light, in which man sees with equal clearness as in summer-light, but which nevertheless doth not conjoin itself to the earth, nor to any tree, shrub, ?ower, orgrass.
