1825. All matters of faith are enriched from the innermost regions
Spirits were told that heaven, or heavenly and spiritual matters related to a belief in the Lord, cannot possibly be any different from everything in the animate kingdom, and everything in the vegetable kingdom, in this respect that every least thing comes forth from the innermost regions, the regions farthest removed from the senses. The very least things in both kingdoms are ever beyond our grasp. Wherever the eye penetrates with the aid of a microscope, it discovers still more amazing things, and this is only on the lowest level, a little on an inward one. Without first elements from the innermost, which are the all within things of a lower order, nothing could ever come into existence and continue to exist, and be what it is. So life enters from the innermosts. The same applies to the individual ideas of people on earth, of spirits, and of angels, when they are led by the Lord-the unbelievable wonders begin only on the inside. 1748, 2 April.
