SD 1790
When the Lord's prayer is being said,
(another translation says 'read')
which embraces all heavenly and spiritual things within it,
so much can be poured into every least detail
that heaven itself is not great enough to contain it all,
and this of course depending on the capacity and use of each individual.
As one penetrates more and more inwardly,
the more plentiful and abundant is the content,
and things that are understood in the heavens,
are not grasped in the regions below,
but are like secrets to them,
some only comprehensible by a kind of mental faith,
and some ineffable.
(April 1, 1748)
(ineffable - too great or extreme
to be expressed or described in words, or too sacred to be uttered)
