148. Since the Divine itself is present in an angel and a man by means of spiritual heat and light, therefore it is said of those who are in the truths of Divine Wisdom and in the goods of Divine Love, when affected by them, and from affection think from them and about them, that they grow warm from God. This also becomes [evident] to perception and feeling as when a preacher speaks from fervour. It is also said of those that they are enlightened by God, because the Lord, by means of His Divine Proceeding, not only kindles the will with spiritual heat, but also enlightens the understanding with spiritual light.
