AC 10137 [2]
He who believes
that the Word is Divine and spiritual throughout,
must necessarily believe
that some secret of heaven
lies hidden in every detail of it.
But the reason why no one up to now
has known just where this secret lies,
is that it has not been known
that there is an internal sense
which is spiritual and Divine
in every detail of the Word;
and that there are angels with every person,
who perceive his thoughts,
and who understand the Word spiritually
while he is reading it,
and that through them
what is holy then flows in from the Lord,
and then that through them
there is conjunction of heaven with a person,
consequently conjunction of the Lord
through the heavens with him.
This is the reason
that a Word of this nature was given to mankind,
by means of which, and not in any other way,
his salvation can be provided for by the Lord.
