TCR 800 - In the Spiritual World; TCR 801, 805 - Loves

TCR 800

. . . Christians who read the Word,
and who know and acknowledge the Lord,
the Redeemer and Savior,
are in the center of all the nations and peoples
of the whole spiritual world.
For they possess the greatest spiritual light,
and the light proceeding from this
is diffused as from a center
in all directions to the outermost circumference . . ..

. . . quarters in the spiritual world
are not like those in the natural world.
There homes are arranged in quarters
according to the reception of faith and love;
those having their homes in the east
excel in love,
and those having their homes in the south
excel in intelligence.

TCR 801

One's chief love is like the ruler of a kingdom,
or like the master of a house,
the other loves being like subjects or servants.
This chief love, moreover,
resides in the highest and inmost regions of the mind,
while the mediate loves are beneath and apart,
and are subservient to its control.

TCR 805

. . . love truly conjugial is a heavenly love,
into which enters no thought of rule.
