TCR 76 [2, 4]
. . .the universe was created by Jehovah God
by means of the sun in the midst of which He is;
and because love cannot exist except together with wisdom,
that the universe was created by Jehovah God
from His love by means of His wisdom.
But it should be kept in mind
that the love and wisdom,
which in God make one,
are not love and wisdom in the abstract,
but are in Him as substance.
For God is the very, sole and consequently prime substance and essence,
which is and continues in existence in itself.
TCR 78 [3]
For God is love itself and wisdom itself,
and His love contains infinite affections,
and His wisdom infinite perceptions;
all the things to be seen upon earth
are correspondences of these affections and perceptions.
This is the origin of birds and animals, trees and shrubs,
crops and grain, plants and grasses.
For God has no extension, but is everywhere in space;
so He fills the universe from first to last.
Because He is omnipresent,
there are such correspondences
of the affections of His love and wisdom
throughout the natural world.
