[2] The case is the same as with the heat and light that proceed from the sun in the world, or even from the flame of a fire. The heat and light are from the sun, for they are from that which is in the sun. In the sun is pure fire. This fire outside the sun is heat decreasing according to distance from it; and light is its modification or interior action in substances that are outside the sun, being also from its fire; those substances in which they exist and operate are called atmospheres. From a correspondent analogy a conclusion may be drawn concerning the heat and light that proceed from the Lord as a sun in heaven. The Lord there as a sun is Divine love; and the heat proceeding therefrom is Divine Good, and the light Divine truth. The heat proceeding, which is Divine Good, is Divine Love in its extension; and the light proceeding, which is Divine truth, is the modification or interior action thereof in substances that are outside Him. Those substances in which this modification takes place are spiritual atmospheres, from which the angels breathe and live.

Because similar things in the world are correspondent analogies, therefore fire in the Word signifies love; heat, Divine Good; and light, Divine truth. The difference is, that, as the heat and light of heaven vivify spiritual essences, so the heat and light of the world vivify natural essences. But yet the heat and light of the world do not vivify of themselves, but from the heat and light of heaven; thus, from the Lord. These things are mentioned, in order that it may be known that the Lord is Divine Good and Divine truth itself, thus, alone holy.

Continuation:-

Into this state a man comes, who shuns evils because they are sins, and looks to the Lord. And he comes into this state as he turns away from and detests evils as sins, and as he acknowledges in heart, and worships the Lord alone, and also His Divine in the Human. This is a summary.
