32. It is because the Divine essence itself is love and wisdom that the universe and all its constituents, both animate and inanimate, depend for their continued existence on heat and light; for heat corresponds to love, and light corresponds to wisdom. So it is also that spiritual heat is love, and spiritual light is wisdom. But more on this subject, too, below.

45. Anyone who can with some thought conceive of and comprehend being and expression in itself must altogether conceive of and comprehend that it is the one and only absolute. The term absolute is used of that which alone is, and the term one and only of that which is the origin of everything else.

Now because the one and only absolute is substance and form, it follows that it is the one and only absolute substance and form. And because that absolute substance and form is Divine love and wisdom, it follows that it is the one and only absolute love, and the one and only absolute wisdom; consequently, that it is the one and only absolute essence, and the one and only absolute life. For love and wisdom together are life.
