AC 5253 - Time, Space, Person

There are three things in general
that perish from the literal sense of the Word
when it becomes the internal sense,
namely, what is of time,
what is of space,
and what is of person.
The reason is that in the spiritual world
there is neither time nor space,
these two belonging to nature;
and therefore it is said of those who die,
that they pass out of time,
and leave behind all that is of time.
That in the spiritual world
nothing is regarded as determined to person
is because directing the attention in speech to person
narrows and limits the idea,
instead of extending it and making it unlimited.
Extension and absence of limitation in speech
cause it to be universal,
and to comprise and be able to express
innumerable and also ineffable things.
Consequently the speech of the angels is of this character,
especially the speech of the celestial angels,
which is relatively unlimited;
and in consequence everything of their speech
flows into the infinite and the eternal,
consequently into the Divine of the Lord.

AC 5256 - The Human Glorified Is the Divine

consequently knows what is therein.
For when the Lord was in the world
He indeed had foresight and providence in the human,
but from the Divine;
but since His glorification
these are from the Divine alone;
for the Human glorified is the Divine.
Regarded in itself the human is nothing but a form
receptive of life from the Divine;
but the Lord's glorified Human, or His Divine Human,
is not a form recipient of life from the Divine,
but is the very being of life;
and that which proceeds therefrom is life.
Such is the idea that the angels have
in regard to the Lord . . ..
