3054. The Lord rules the universe
I saw by means of a spiritual mental image that the Lord rules the universe, and that the wood-cutters and sawyers, and others when they are in the realm of faith, insofar as they place merit in themselves, so far they grow cold and slip toward fantasies, or lives conforming with their fantasies. Then I understood that the realm of faith, which is the realm of inward, very inward, and innermost qualities, being that of things Divine, is the realm Itself of goodness and truth. Therefore it is universal, so that nothing exists in the universe that does not come forth from it. 1748, 5 Sept.
