10200. “每早晨” 表每当清晰的爱之状态存在之时. 这从 “早晨” 的含义清楚可知, “早晨” 是指当清晰的爱之状态存在之时 (参看10134节), 因此, “每早晨” 是指每当这种状态存在之时. 前面已数次说明, 天上爱和光的状态, 也就是良善和真理的状态连续不断地依次接踵而来, 就像地上的早晨, 正午, 晚上和黎明, 以及春, 夏, 秋, 冬一样. 还说明, 一天四个时间段和一年四季都来源于这些状态; 因为在世界上产生的事物是存在于天堂中的真实事物的形像. 这是因为一切属世之物都是从属灵之物, 也就是天堂里的神性产生的. 由此明显可知, 天堂里的状态变化是何性质, 因为通过对比世上热和光的状态就能知道它们, 天堂里的热是来自主的爱之良善, 那里的光是来自主的信之真理. 那里的状态以这种方式接踵而来, 是为了让天使能不断变得更完美; 因为他们以这种方式经历良善和真理的一切变化, 并充满它们. 此外, 那里的爱之良善和信之真理的变化的不同, 就像地上所有特定地区或气候带的热和光的不同; 也就是说, 离赤道近的热和光, 不同于离赤道远的, 而且这一天的不同于下一天的, 以及这一年的不同于下一年的. 绝对相似或一模一样的东西从来不会返回, 因为主规定, 无论在灵界, 还是在自然界, 都没有绝对一模一样的东西; 完美由此不断增长.

1470. 'Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon' means that truth from a celestial origin is delightful. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'a woman beautiful to look upon'. Every truth that is celestial, that is, which is brought forth from what is celestial, is a source of happiness in the internal man and of delight in the external; and among celestial angels truth is not perceived in any other way. It is altogether different however when it does not have a celestial origin. There are two kinds of happiness in the internal man to which two kinds of delight in the external man correspond. One belongs to good, the other to truth. Celestial happiness and delight go with good, spiritual happiness and delight with truth. Furthermore it is well known that truth holds happiness and delight within it, though these are essentially such only when the truth flows from what is celestial, and therefore when the truth itself becomes celestial and is called celestial truth. This truth may also be compared to the light of the sun in spring, which light carries within it the warmth which causes everything on earth to start to grow and so to speak to come alive. This celestial truth is beauty or beautifulness itself, and is the kind of truth meant here by the words 'a beautiful woman to look upon'. What further arcana are embodied in these words will become evident from what follows
