Divine Love and Wisdom #16

Studere hoc loco

16. It therefore stands to reason that God is a person and in this way is God manifest--not manifest from himself, but manifest in himself. The one who is manifest in himself is the God who is the source of all.

Divine Love and Wisdom #180

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 432  
  

180. That there are degrees of love and wisdom is still more plainly apparent from the love and wisdom of angels in comparison to the love and wisdom of people. People know that the wisdom of angels is in comparison indescribable. We will see in subsequent discussions that it is also incomprehensible to people when they are caught up in a natural love. The reason it appears indescribable and incomprehensible is that is in a higher degree.
