HH 371, 372, 375 - Three Short Quotes on Heavenly Marriage Love

HH 371

As truth is the sole receptacle of good
nothing can be received from the Lord
and from heaven
by any one who is not in truths;
therefore just to the extent that the truths in a person
are conjoined to good
is a person conjoined to the Lord and to heaven.
This, then, is the very origin of marriage love,
and for this reason
that love is the very plane of Divine influx.

HH 372

Good and truth conjoined in an angel or a person
are not two but one,
since good is then good of truth
and truth is truth of good.
This conjunction may be likened to
a person's thinking what he wills
and willing what he thinks,
when the thought and will make one, that is, one mind;
for thought forms, that is, presents in form
that which the will wills,
and the will gives delight to it;
and this is why a married pair in heaven
are not called two, but one angel.

HH 375

Let it be known
that no two things mutually love each other
more than truth and good do;
and therefore it is from that love
that true marriage love descends.
