Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5310

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5310. 'No one has intelligence and wisdom like you' means that this alone is the source of truth and good. This is clear from the meaning of 'one who has intelligence' as truth, and from the meaning of 'one who has wisdom' as good, both dealt with above in 5287. The reason why this alone, and no other, is meant by 'no one' is that no one, or nobody, in the internal sense describes an absence and so separation from all else, see 5225, 5253.
