329. Everything whatsoever that meets the eyes, no matter how diverse, is nevertheless enlivened by God the Messiah to be turned into lovely pleasures, and series of pleasures
When I was walking in the street, I was looking at different objects with my eyes, which, because of their diversity, no one would ever guess could be transformed, and thus enlivened to become a continuous series of pleasures. Then I heard from angels that these things had come through to them as an uninterrupted variation of pleasures, and this from objects they could not see at all; and so I was able to understand [this phenomenon], because there is nothing in the world that is not a reflection of the Kingdom of God the Messiah. 1747, 10 December.
