[Seraphita by Honore de Balzac]@TWC D-Link bookSeraphita CHAPTER III 37/83
'In this state,' writes Swedenborg ('True Religion,' 136), 'the spirit of a man may move from one place to another, his body remaining where it is,--a condition in which I lived for over twenty-six years.' It is thus that we should interpret all Biblical statements which begin, 'The Spirit led me.' Angelic Wisdom is to human wisdom what the innumerable forces of nature are to its action, which is one.
All things live again, and move and have their being in the Spirit, which is in God.
Saint Paul expresses this truth when he says, 'In Deo sumus, movemur, et vivimus,'-- we live, we act, we are in God. "Earth offers no hindrance to the Angelic Spirit, just as the Word offers him no obscurity.
His approaching divinity enables him to see the thought of God veiled in the Logos, just as, living by his inner being, the Spirit is in communion with the hidden meaning of all things on this earth.
Science is the language of the Temporal world, Love is that of the Spiritual world.
