From what has been observed concerning the grand human being, it is clearly only organic, consequently membranous, with which the organic and membranous parts of the body interact that are activated by the life of the Lord, thus think and act from the Lord. The Lord Alone, being life, vivifies and activates them, thus He is made present also by means of the animate spirits or bloods in the outermost nature of the body-for His life is in both lasts and firsts. Therefore whoever wants to live or lead their own life cannot be in the Grand human being, but insofar as they so desire, they expel themselves. They are purged away and rejected. Therefore, the whole grand human is a yielding force, or passive* force, which is called "dead in itself," while the Lord Alone is the active, activating, or living force. Hence there is a marriage, and heaven is compared to the bride or wife, and the Lord Alone is the Bridegroom. 1748, 1 Oct. * The Latin is vis patiens, sue vis passiva, where both words are properly translated "passive."
