The Sun of the spiritual world was treated of in Part II of this work, and the following facts were there set forth:

The Divine Love and Wisdom appear in the spiritual world as a Sun, (n. 83-88). Spiritual heat and light go forth from that Sun. (n. 89-92). That Sun is not God, but it is a going forth from the Divine Love and Wisdom of God-Man; it is the same with the heat and light from that Sun (n. 93-98). The Sun of the spiritual world is in the middle altitude, and appears distant from the angels as the sun of the natural world from men (n. 103-107). In the spiritual world the east is where the Lord appears as a Sun, and the remaining quarters are thence determined (n. 119-123, n. 124-128). Angels turn their faces continually to the Lord as a Sun (n. 129-134, 135-139). The Lord created the universe and everything therein by means of the Sun which is the first proceeding of the Divine Love and Wisdom (n. 151-156). The sun of the natural world is pure fire, and nature which derives its origin from that sun, is consequently dead; and the sun of the natural world was created in order that the work of creation might be completed and finished (n. 157-162). Without two suns, the one living and the other dead, creation is not possible (n. 163-166).
