AE 222a - "to write"

AE 222a [2]
"To write upon one" means to implant in the life,
because to write is to commit to paper anything
from the memory, thought, or mind,
that is to be preserved;
in the spiritual sense, therefore,
it signifies that which is to endure in a person's life,
inscribed on it and implanted in it.
Thus the natural sense of this expression is turned into a spiritual sense;
for it is natural to write upon paper and in a book,
but it is spiritual to inscribe on the life,
which is done when anything is implanted in the faith and love,
since love and faith make a person's spiritual life.
Because "to write" signifies to implant in the life,
it is said of Jehovah or the Lord that "He writes,"
and that "He has written in a book,"
meaning that which is inscribed by the Lord on a person's spirit,
that is, on his heart and soul,
or what is the same, on his love and faith.
