AE 365 - the origin of peace

AE 365b [5,6,14]
. . . peace is in its first origin . . . from the Lord;
it is in Him from the union of the Divine Itself and the Divine Human,
and it is from Him by His conjunction with heaven and the church,
and in particular from the conjunction of good and truth in each individual.
From this it is that "peace," in the highest sense, signifies the Lord;
in a relative sense, heaven and the church in general,
and also heaven and the church in particular in each individual.

Jesus said, Peace I leave with you,
My peace I give unto you,
not as the world gives
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
(John 14:27)

This treats of the Lord's union with the Father,
that is, the union of His Divine Human with the Divine Itself
which was in Him from conception,
and consequently of the Lord's conjunction
with those who are in truths from goods;
therefore "peace" means tranquility of mind from that conjunction;
and as such are protected by that conjunction
from the evils and falsities that are from hell,
for the Lord protects those who are conjoined with Him,
therefore He says,
"Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
This Divine peace is in a person . . ..

Peace viewed in itself is not heaven and heavenly joy,
but these are in peace and from peace;
for peace is like the dawn or like spring-time in the world,
which dispose human minds to receive in the heart
delights and pleasures from the objects that appear before the eyes,
for that is what makes them delightful and pleasant;
and because all things of heaven and of heavenly joy
are in like manner from Divine peace,
these also are meant by "peace."
Since a person has heaven from living according to the commandments,
for thence he has conjunction with the Lord,
therefore it is said,

If you walk in My statutes,
and keep My commandments,
and do them,
I will give peace in the land.
(portions of Leviticus 26:3,6)
