301. Further, in the light of angelic concepts, which are nonspatial, it is perfectly clear that in the created universe there is nothing living except the Divine-Human One--the Lord--alone, that nothing moves except by life from God, and that nothing exists except by means of the sun from God. So it is true that in God we live and move and have our being.

4621. 'And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him' means that it rose again within the good of the Natural and within the good of truth in the Natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'being buried' as resurrection, dealt with in 2916, 2917, and as the state of representation that has been raised up in someone else, 3256; from the representation of 'Esau' as the Lord's Divine Natural as regards good, dealt with in 3302, 3576, 4241; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the Lord's Divine Natural as regards the good of truth, dealt with in 4273, 4337, 4538. From these considerations and those stated above in 4618 it is evident that 'Esau and Jacob his sons buried him' means that it rose again within the good of the Natural and within the good of truth in the Natural. The reason 'being buried' in the internal sense means rising again is that once the body has died the soul rises again. Consequently when burial is referred to in the Word angels do not think of the body which is cast aside but of the soul which rises again; for angels possess spiritual ideas, and so ones that are ideas of life. Therefore anything to do with death in the natural world means something to do with life in the spiritual world.
