AC 9548
That by the "lampstand"
is signified the Divine spiritual is because
by "the table on which were the breads of faces"
is signified the Divine celestial,
as was shown in what goes before.
The Divine celestial is the good of love,
and the Divine spiritual
is the truth of faith thence derived;
both proceeding from the Lord.
That the "lampstand" denotes the Divine spiritual
is from its illumination,
for the Divine truth which proceeds
from the Divine good of the Lord
is what gives light in heaven,
nor have the angels light from any other source.
AC 9568 [4]
But the Divine of the Lord
is in all things of good with a person,
and from this in all things of truth with him,
when he wills from love,
and believes from the consequent faith,
that all good and all truth,
thus everything of love and everything of faith,
are from the Lord,
and absolutely nothing from himself;
and also that he possesses the truth of faith
in the exact proportion of his reception
of good from the Lord;
for, as before said,
good is the all in all things of truth,
and truth without good is truth without life.
