AC 6880 - I AM

AC 6880
It appears to man as if the Divine truth
were not such that anything can come forth by means of it;
for it is believed that it is like a voice,
which being uttered with the lips, is dissipated.
But it is altogether otherwise:
the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord is the veriest reality,
and such a reality that all things have come forth from it,
and all things subsist from it;
for whatever proceeds from the Lord
is the veriest reality in the universe;
and such is the Divine truth,
which is called the "Word,"
through which all things were made.
