AC 3367, 3376 - Thought From the Divine

AC  3367

And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said.
(Genesis 26:2)

That this means thought from the Divine,
is evident from the meaning of "appearing,"
when said of the Lord, who is Jehovah,
as being the Divine Itself that was in Him.
That Jehovah was in the Lord,
and that the Lord Himself is Jehovah,
has been shown above in many places;
and that insofar as the Lord had united
the Human essence to the Divine,
so far He spoke with Jehovah as with Himself;
thus "Jehovah appearing to him,"
in the internal sense means from the Divine;
that thought is meant is evident from
the meaning of "saying,"
as being to perceive and also to think;
as has been frequently shown.

AC 3376

. . . there was thought from the Divine
not to go down to memory-knowledges,
but to rational things
which
when enlightened by the Divine
are appearances of truth,
and that from these would come
instruction from the Divine, and increase,
thus good and truth,
which are spiritual,
whereby there is conjunction
of the Lord with the things in His Word.
These things which before a person
appear thus scattered,
are yet in the internal sense conjoined together
in the most orderly manner,
and before the angels, or in heaven,
appear and are perceived
in a most beautiful series and connection;
indeed, are attended with angelic representatives
in a heavenly form;
and this with inexpressible variety.
Such is the Word throughout in its internal sense.
