DLW 360, 369 - the Lord's home in mankind

DLW 360

Now because the Lord is Divine love and Divine wisdom,

and these two in essence are Him,

it must needs be,

for Him to dwell in mankind and give mankind life,

that He have created and fashioned in mankind

recipient vessels and abodes for Himself,

one for His love,

and the other for His wisdom.

These recipient vessels and abodes in mankind

are called will and intellect -

the recipient vessel and abode of love being called the will,

and the recipient vessel and abode of wisdom the intellect.

DLW 369 [2]

. . . a person who elevates his mind to the Lord

is wholly elevated to the Lord,

and that a person who casts his mind down to hell

is wholly cast down into it.

Consequently the whole person

comes either into heaven or into hell

in accordance with his life's love.
