They are united and separated in accordance
with the ruling affections (n. 4111).
{Footnote 2} There is only one Life, from which all, both in
heaven and in the world, live (n. 1954, 2021, 2536, 2658,
2886-2889, 3001, 3484, 3742, 5847, 6467). That life is from the
Lord above (n. 2886-2889, 3344, 3484, 4319, 4320, 4524, 4882,
5986, 6325, 6468-6470, 9276, 10196). It flows into angels,
spirits, and men, in a wonderful manner (n. 2886-2889, 3337,
3338, 3484, 3742). The Lord flows in from His Divine love,
which is such that what is its own it wills should be another's
(n. 3472, 4320). For this reason life appears to be in man, and
not flowing in (n. 3742, 4320). Of the joy of angels, perceived
and confirmed by what they told me, because of their not living
from themselves but from the Lord (n. 6469). The evil are
unwilling to be convinced that life flows in (n. 3743). Life
from the Lord flows in also with the evil (n. 2706, 3743, 4417,
10196). But they turn good into evil, and truth into falsity;
for such as man is such is his reception of life illustrated
(n. 4319, 4320, 4417).
204. But let it be understood that intelligence and wisdom vary with
everyone in accordance with this communication, those whose
intelligence and wisdom are formed out of genuine truths and goods
having communication with societies in accordance with the form of
heaven; while those whose intelligence and wisdom are not formed out
of genuine truths and goods, and yet out of what is in accord
therewith, have a broken and variously coherent communication, since
it is not with societies that are in a series in which there is a
form of heaven.
