2884. The general life of the Lord streams into the universe
This is the most general rule, that the life of the Lord streams into the universe. From it is the life of all things, from it is the order of all things, from it is the life of each individual, according to the form each one has personally acquired. About this I was instructed today, and it follows from all things [that I learned] down to the least details, because there is only one love, and only one life. 1748, 22 Aug.
2884. THAT THE GENERAL LIFE OF THE LORD INFLOWS INTO THE UNIVERSE.
This is a most general rule [canon] that the life of the Lord inflows into the universe; hence [is] the life of all, hence the order of all, hence the life of everyone, according to the form of each, acquired by himself. I was instructed concerning this today, and it follows from each and all things, because there is but one love, and one life. - 1748, August 22.
