DP 162, 163, 165 - The Lord Governs and Leads

DP 162

(2) A person is led and taught by the Lord alone
through the angelic heaven and from it.

DP 163

. . . the Lord governs the entire angelic heaven
as though it were a single person;
that that heaven, being in itself human,
is the very image and very likeness of the Lord;
and that the Lord Himself governs that heaven
as the soul governs its body.

So, because the entire human race
is governed by the Lord,
it can be seen that it is governed by the Lord
not through heaven,
but from heaven,
consequently from Himself,
because He is heaven, as we have said.

DP 165 [5]

Every person from early childhood
is introduced into that Divine Man
whose soul and life is the Lord,
and he is led and taught in Him,
and not apart from Him,
by the Lord's Divine love
in accordance with His Divine wisdom.
Nevertheless, because a person's freedom
is never taken away,
he can be led and taught
only to the extent of his reception
as though of himself.
