Let’s continue with excerpts from, “Divine Providence,” where more fascinating insight is provided by Emanuel Swedenborg as to the connectiveness of Divine Love and Wisdom in the Heavens as well as our physical world.“Everything we see with our eyes in this world is this kind of whole, and so is everything we do not see with our eyes, either in the depths of nature or in the spiritual world. An individual is this kind of whole, and so is a human community. Further, the Church is this kind of whole, and so is the whole angelic heaven in the Lord’s sight. In short, the created universe is this kind of whole not only in its entirety but also in every detail. If the whole and every part is to be a form, it is necessary that the one who created them all should be form itself and that all the things that have been created in their particular forms should come from that essential form. Divine Love and Wisdom are form in and of themselves, and are therefore wholly ‘itself’ and unique. Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are a single whole in the Lord. They emanate from the Lord as a single whole.”“There is some image of this unity in everything that has been created. Divinity is present in everything that has been created because God the Creator, who is the Lord from eternity, brought forth the sun of the spiritual world from His actual Self, and by means of that sun brought forth the whole universe.”“In the Lord, then, there is Divine Love and Wisdom; in the sun that comes from Him there is divine fire and divine radiance; and from that sun come spiritual warmth and spiritual light, with the two making a single whole. It follows, then, that some image of this whole is present in everything that has been created.” “The truth is, though, that the simpler and purer anything is, the greater and fuller it is. This is why the more deeply we look into anything, the more amazing, perfect, and beautiful are the things we see; so, in the first substance of all, there must be the most amazing, perfect, and beautiful things of all. This is because the first substance comes from the spiritual sun, which is from the Lord and is where the Lord is. That sun itself is therefore the only substance, and since it is not in space, it is totally present in everything, in the largest and the smallest components of the created universe.”
