DLW 93, 94

That sun is not God,
but it is an emanation from
the Divine love and wisdom of the human God.
So, too, the heat and light from that sun.
In referring to that sun, visible to angels,
from which they have their heat and light,
we do not mean the Lord,
but we mean the first emanation from Him,
which is spiritual heat in its highest degree.
Spiritual heat in its highest degree is spiritual fire,
which is Divine love and wisdom
in their first correspondent form.

Ancient peoples represented this emanation
by placing halos glowing with fire
and glistening with light around the head of God,
a representation which is also commonly employed today
when God is depicted as a person in paintings.

DLW 113-114

. . . the Lord Himself is present in heaven,
for He is present in
the love and wisdom of the angels in heaven.
And because He is present in
the love and wisdom of all angels,
and angels constitute heaven,
He is present in the whole of heaven.

The Lord not only is present in heaven,
but He also is heaven itself.
That is because love and wisdom are what make an angel,
and these two properties are the Lord's in angels.
It follows therefore that the Lord is heaven.

DLW 127

In order that love and wisdom
in an angel or person may be united,
there are paired elements
in all the constituents of his body.
His eyes, ears and nostrils are paired organs.
His hands, loins and feet are paired.
The brain is divided into two hemispheres,
the heart into two chambers,
the lungs into two lobes,
and so on with other organs.
Thus we find in angels and people a right side and a left;
and all their constituents located to the right
relate to love which gives rise to wisdom,
and all their constituents located to the left
relate to wisdom arising from love;
or to say the equivalent,
all their constituents located to the right
relate to good which gives rise to truth,
and all their constituents located to the left
relate to truth arising from good.

Angels and people have these pairs
in order that love and wisdom, or good and truth,
may operate in union and look as one to the Lord.
