HH 118 123 - seeing the Lord

HH 118
. . . every person sees the Lord
in accordance with the quality of his reception of the Lord,
thus He is seen in one way by those that receive Him with the good of love,
and in another by those that receive Him with the good of faith.
Those that receive Him with the good of love see Him as a sun,
fiery and flaming, in accordance with their reception of Him;
these are in His celestial kingdom;
while those that receive Him with the good of faith see Him as a moon,
white and brilliant in accordance with their reception of Him,
and these are in His spiritual kingdom.
This is so because good of love corresponds to fire;
therefore in the spiritual sense fire is love;
and the good of faith corresponds to light,
and in the spiritual sense light is faith.

HH 123
As it is from the Divine love that is in and from Him
that the Lord appears in heaven like a sun,
so all in the heavens are turned constantly to Him. . ..
But those that are in hell
turn themselves to an opposite darkness and dense darkness,
that is, they turn backwards, away from the Lord;
and for the reason that all in the hells are in love of self and the world,
thus antagonistic to the Lord.
