Divine Reality to enter the body of man. No, as the discourse emanates
from the speaker, the spirit appears in the body of man.

But the proceeding through manifestation is the manifestation of the
reality of a thing in other forms, like the coming forth of this tree from
the seed of the tree, or the coming forth of the flower from the seed of
the flower, for it is the seed itself which appears in the form of the
branches, leaves and flowers. This is called the proceeding through
manifestation. The spirits of men, with reference to God, have dependence
through emanation, just as the discourse proceeds from the speaker and the
writing from the writer--that is to say, the speaker himself does not
become the discourse, nor does the writer himself become the writing; no,
rather they have the proceeding of emanation. The speaker has perfect
ability and power, and the discourse emanates from him, as the action does
from the actor. The Real Speaker, the Essence of Unity, has always been in
one condition, which neither changes nor alters, has neither
transformation nor vicissitude. He is the Eternal, the Immortal.
Therefore, the proceeding of the human spirits from God is through
emanation. When it is said in the Bible that God breathed His spirit into
man, this spirit is that which, like the discourse, emanates from the Real
Speaker, taking effect in the reality of man.

But the proceeding through manifestation (if by this is meant the divine
appearance, and not division into parts), we have said, is the proceeding
and the appearance of the Holy Spirit and the Word, which is from God. As
it is said in the Gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God";(145) then the Holy Spirit and the Word are the
appearance of God. The Spirit and the Word mean the divine perfections
that appeared in the Reality of Christ, and these perfections were with
God; so the sun manifests all its glory in the mirror. For the Word does
not signify the body of Christ, no, but the divine perfections manifested
in Him. For Christ was like a clear mirror which was facing the Sun of
Reality; and the perfections of the Sun of Reality--that is to say, its
light and heat--were visible and apparent in this mirror. If we look into
the mirror, we see the sun, and we say, "It is the sun." Therefore, the
Word and the Holy Spirit, which signify the perfections of God, are the
divine appearance. This is the meaning of the verse in the Gospe
