DLW 296, 298, 304 - in all things

DLW 296

There are three elements in the Lord

which are the Lord -

the Divine element of love,

the Divine element of wisdom,

and the Divine element of useful endeavor -

and these three are manifested in appearance

outside of the sun of the spiritual world,

the Divine element of love by warmth,

the Divine element of wisdom by light,

and the Divine element of useful endeavor

by the atmosphere which is their containing medium.

DLW 298

We call useful endeavors

those phenomena which,

being from the human God, or the Lord,

are from creation in order.

However, we do not call useful endeavors

those which spring from people's native character,

for their native character is hell,

and its endeavors are contrary to order.

DLW 304

. . . degrees of two kinds exist

in the greatest and least of all created things.
The reason degrees of both kinds exist

in the least of all things

is that the spiritual sun is the one single substance

from which all else springs . . ..
