485.除了具体流注外,还有总体流注。今天,我与恶灵和善灵谈论了各种情感,无论善恶方面的总体和具体流注;也就是说,有成千上万,甚至无数灵人,因而整个天堂的灵人和天使导致总体流注。但每个人周围都有某些具体流注,这些具体流注是总体流注的接受者。这些接受者从总体流注接受与它相似的东西,因为它们相对应。所以它们是相似的。因此,所有灵人和所有天使,尤其是流注的集中点;他们如何,他们接受并与世人共享的流注就如何。世人同样是相应流注的集中点。这个问题在属世层面通过自然界的许多现象,无论大气现象还是动物,也能理解。(1748年1月17日)
天使们表示同意。
485. Besides individual influences, there are also collective ones
Today I spoke with evil and good spirits about the collective and the individual influence bearing on every single feeling, evil and good, namely, that there are tens of thousands, in fact many tens of thousands [of spirits] that are responsible for the collective influence, thus the whole heaven of spirits and angels. But there are specific individual influences concerned with each person, which are recipients of the collective influences, and as such they draw upon the collective influence, and are similar to it because they interact.
Thus all spirits and all angels individually are focal points of influences, and such as they are, such are the influences they receive, and share with people on earth, each of whom is likewise an interacting focal point of influences. This matter can be understood on the physical level by means of a great number of phenomena in both the atmospheric and the animate aspects of nature. 1748, the 17th day of January. The angels expressed agreement.
485. BESIDES PARTICULAR INFLUXES THERE ARE ALSO GENERAL INFLUXES
I spoke today with evil and good spirits about general and particular influx, as to affection of any kind, evil and good, namely, that there are myriads, and indeed many myriads, thus the whole heaven of spirits and angels, which cause the general influx. But there are certain particular influxes around every single man which are the subjects of the general influxes. These subjects receive from the general and are similar because they correspond. Thus all spirits and all angels are, in particular, centers of influxes, and such as they are, such is the influx they receive and communicate to man. Man, in like manner, is the center of corresponding influxes. This can be perceived naturally from very many things in nature, both atmospheric and animal. 1748, Jan. 17. The angels were in agreement.
485. Praeter particulares 1
influxus, etiam dantur communes
Hodie loquutus sum cum spiritibus malis et bonis, de influxu communi et particulari 1
, ad quamlibet affectionem malam et bonam, nempe quod myriades sint, et quidem plures myriades, quae communem influxum causantur, sic universum spirituum et angelorum coelum, sed sunt quaedam 2
particulares circa unumquemvis hominem, quae sunt subjecta communium influxuum, haec subjecta recipiunt a communi, et sunt similia quia correspondent, sic sunt omnes spiritus, et omnes angeli in particulari centra influxuum, et quales sunt, tales influxus recipiunt, et communicant cum homine, homo similiter est centrum influxuum, correspondens, hoc naturaliter percipi potest a permultis in natura, tam atmosphaerica, quam animali. 1748, die 17 Jan. Consenserunt angeli.
