SD 2713-2714 - the government of the universe

About the government of the universe:
the universe is not ruled by the Lord
in agreement with human fallacies and fantasies,
in which there are countless things that oppose.

SD 2713-2714
In perverse and inverted human minds
there is this most powerful and almost exclusive tendency
to draw conclusions from the way outer things are governed,
thus especially from fallacies of the senses and fantasies:
why does the Lord not guard against and turn people away from evils,
indeed, from cruelties and other such dreadful and abominable things,
when yet the hearts of all are in His hand?

. . . But the truth is this,
that the Lord rules the universe by a providence,
an infinite one,
than which to rule more infinitely and more wisely is inconceivable.
And because this is the truth,
it follows that thoughts which oppose are false,
for there is one truth.
Moreover, that there is no moment of a person's thought and action,
which has not along with itself, and is wont to have,
a successive series of consequences to eternity;
Every single moment of life
is the starting point of consequences in life,
and like a single seed from which countless results ensue to eternity.
This also is true.
Since these are truths,
it follows that all things in lowest nature
that appear to oppose them (the truths)
are fallacies of the senses and fantasies.
