9956. 'And sanctify them' means thus a representative sign of the Lord in respect of the Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'sanctifying or 'making holy' as representing the truly holy, namely the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, for this alone is holy, and it is the source of everything holy in heaven and on earth. Anyone may recognize that the oil did not make them holy, but that it acted as a representative sign of holiness. To take further the implications of all this, the Lord Himself is above the heavens, for He is the Sun of the angelic heaven. The Divine which emanates from Him - from that Sun - in the heavens is what is called holy. There could be no representation of that which is Divine and the Lord's above the heavens because this is infinite; only what is Divine and the Lord's in the heavens could be represented, for this is suited to reception by the angels there, who are finite. This presence of the Divine in the heavens, perceived by those there as the Lord's Divine Human, which alone is holy, is what was represented. From this it is evident what 'being made holy' means, and why it is mentioned after anointing, as in Moses in these among other examples elsewhere,

You shall anoint the altar and sanctify it. Exodus 29:36.

You shall anoint the tent of meeting, and all that is in it, and sanctify them. Exodus 30:25-29.

You shall anoint Aaron and sanctify him. Exodus 40:13.

He anointed Aaron and his garments, his sons and their garments, and sanctified them. Leviticus 8:12, 30.

The Lord alone is holy, everything holy comes from Him, and everything made holy served to represent Him, see 9229, 9680.

The Lord in the heavens, thus also heaven, is meant by the sanctuary or holy place, 9479.

The Holy Spirit is that which is Divine emanating from the Lord, 9818, 9820.

210. What is the proprium? The human proprium consists of everything evil and false that gushes out of self-love and love of the world. It involves people believing not in the Lord or in the Word but in themselves, and their imagining that what they do not grasp through sensory evidence or through facts does not exist at all. They become as a consequence nothing but evil and falsity and so have a warped view of everything. Things that are evil they see as good, and those that are good as evil; things that are false they see as true, and those that are true as false. Realities they imagine to be nothing, and things that are nothing they imagine to be everything. They call hatred love, thick darkness light, death life, and vice versa. In the Word such people are called 'the lame and the blind'. This then is the human proprium which in itself is hellish and condemned.
