DLW 154
The Lord created the universe and everything in it
by means of the sun in the spiritual world
because that sun is the first emanation
of His Divine love and wisdom,
and everything originates
from Divine love and wisdom . . ..
We find in everything created,
in the grandest and in the most infinitesimal,
three elements - end, cause and effect.
There is nothing created
that does not have in it these three elements.
In the grand scheme or in the
universe
these three occur in sequence as follows.
In the sun which is the first emanation
of Divine love and wisdom
is found the end or purpose in all things.
In the spiritual world are found the causes of all things.
And in the natural world are found
the effects of all things.
. . . Now because there is nothing created
that does not have in it these three elements,
it follows that the Lord created
the universe and everything in it
by the sun which has in it
the end or purpose in all things.
