ISB 8, 11, 12 - Influx and Garments

ISB 8

These two, namely heat and light, or light and wisdom,
flow conjointly from God into the soul of man,
and through this into his mind,
its affections and thoughts,
and from these into
the senses, speech, and actions of the body.

ISB 11

. . . there is only one life,
and this is not capable of being created,
but is eminently capable of flowing into
forms organically adapted to its reception.

ISB 12

Spiritual things, thus clothed in a person,
enable him to live as a rational and moral person, .
thus a spiritually natural person.

From the principle established above,
that the soul clothes itself with a body
as a person clothes himself with a garment,
this follows as a conclusion.
For the soul flows into the human mind,
and through this into the body,
and carries life with it,
which it continually receives from the Lord,
and thus transfers it mediately into the body,
where by the closest union
it makes the body as it were to live.
