AE 1115 - thinking about the Lord

AE 1115 [5]
It has been said that to think of God as Man
has been implanted in every spirit.
That this comes through an influx of the Lord
into the interiors of their thoughts
is evident from the fact that the angels of all the heavens
acknowledge the Lord alone.
They acknowledge His Divine which is called the Father,
they see His Divine Human,
and they are in the Divine proceeding,
for the whole angelic heaven is the Lord's Divine proceeding.
An angel is not an angel from what is his own,
but from the Divine that he receives from the Lord.
From this they are in the Lord;
consequently when they think of God
they can think of no other than the Lord in whom they are
and from whom they think.
Add to this that the whole angelic heaven
in its complex before the Lord is as one Man,
which maybe called the Greatest Man;
consequently the angels in heaven are in the Man
that is the Lord's Divine proceeding, as has been said;
and since their thoughts have direction there
according to the form of heaven,
they are unable when they think of God
to think of any other than the Lord.
In a word, all the angels of the three heavens think of God as Man,
and are unable to think otherwise.
If they wished to think otherwise thought would cease,
and they would fall from heaven.
This, then, is why to every spirit and to every person,
when he is in the idea of his spirit,
it is instinctive to think of God as Man.
