2960. The apparent inflow from a person on earth to the Lord
It appears as if human thoughts, from a person on earth or from a spirit, move the Lord, when yet all things to the very least flow in from the Lord, thus into the person, not from the person [see 2552-4]. For I am taught that the fact is, when the life of the Lord flows into a subject fit to receive, heaven is moved, because the order is complete, and the receiving vessel, so to speak, is fit to receive. It is different when it is not fit, for then the qualities flowing in cannot operate. 1748, 28 Aug.
