AC 4211 [2]
A person's conjunction with the Lord
is not a conjunction with His Supreme Divine Itself,
but with His Divine Human;
for a person can have no idea whatever
of the Lord's Supreme Divine,
which so transcends his idea
as altogether to perish and become nothing;
but he can have an idea of His Divine Human.
For everyone is conjoined by thought and affection
with one concerning whom he has some idea . . ..
If when anyone is thinking about the Lord's Human,
he has holiness in his idea,
he is thinking also of that holy
which coming from the Lord fills heaven,
so that he is also thinking of heaven;
for in its complex heaven bears relation to a person,
and it does this from the Lord . . ..
So it is said in John
that no one hath seen God at any time,
except the Only begotten Son (1:18);
and that no one can come to the Father except through Him;
and consequently He also is called the Mediator.
