299. Now because these three, love, wisdom and use are in the Lord, and are the Lord, and because the Lord is everywhere for He is Omnipresent, and because the Lord cannot present Himself such as He is in Himself, and such as He is in His own Sun, to any angel or man, He therefore presents Himself by means of such things as can be received, and does so as to love, by heat, as to wisdom by light, and as to use, by the atmosphere. The Lord manifests Himself as to use by the atmosphere, because the atmosphere is the containant of heat and light, as use is the containant of love and wisdom. For light and heat which go forth from the Divine Sun cannot go forth into nothing, that is into a vacuum, but go forth into a containant which is a subject. And this containant we call the atmosphere, which encompasses the Sun, and receives the sun in its bosom, bearing it to the heavens where the angels are, and thence to the world where men are, thus making manifest the Lord's presence everywhere.
