, inconceivable under any form; and that they can call those
who think differently unintelligent and simple, when the reverse is
the truth. They add, "Let those who thus believe themselves to be
intelligent examine themselves, whether they do not look upon nature
as God, some the nature that is before their eyes, others the
invisible side of nature; and whether they are not so blind as not to
know what God is, what an angel is, what a spirit is, what their soul
is which is to live after death, what the life of heaven in man is,
and many other things that constitute intelligence; when yet those
whom they call simple know all these things in their way, having an
idea of their God that He is the Divine in a human form, of an angel
that he is a heavenly man, of their soul that is to live after death
that it is like an angel, and of the life of heaven in man that it is
living in accord with the Divine commandments." Such the angels call
intelligent and fitted for heaven; but the others, on the other hand,
they call not intelligent.

EXTRACTS FROM THE ARCANA COELESTIA RELATING TO THE LORD AND HIS
DIVINE HUMAN.

[2] The Divine was in the Lord from very conception (n.
4641, 4963, 5041, 5157, 6716, 10125).

The Lord alone had a Divine seed (n. 1438).

His soul was Jehovah (n. 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025).

Thus the Lord's inmost was the Divine Itself, while the
clothing was from the mother (n. 5041).

The Divine Itself was the Being [Esse] of the Lord's life,
and from this the Human afterwards went forth and became
the outgo [existere] from that Being [Esse] (n. 3194,
3210, 10269, 10738).

[3] Within the church where the Word is and by it the Lord
is known, the Lord's Divine ought not to be denied, nor
the Holy that goes forth from Him (n. 2359).

Those within the church who do not acknowledge the Lord
have no conjunction with the Divine; but it is otherwise
with those outside of the church (n. 10205).

The essential of the church is to acknowledge the Lord's
Divine and His union with the Father (n. 10083, 10112,
10370, 10730, 10738, 10816-10820).

[4] The glorification of the Lord is treated of in the
Word in many passages (n. 10828).

And in the internal sense of the Word everywhere (n. 2249,
2523, 3245).

The Lord glorified His Human, but not the Divine, since
this was glorified in its
