VI

By the sense of the Letter of the Word there is conjunction with the Lord, and association with the angels

There is conjunction with the Lord by means of the Word because the Word treats of Him alone; and by it the Lord is the All in all things of the Word, and He is called the Word, as was shown in THE DOCTRINE OF THE LORD. There is conjunction in the sense of the Letter because the Word in that sense is in its fulness, its sanctity and its power, as was shown above in its own chapter. The conjunction is not apparent to man; but it is in the affection of truth and in the perception of it, and thus in the love and faith of Divine Truth with him.
