Look

  

'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.

1957. 'The spring of the Living One who sees me' means the truth that was thus clearly visible. This too is clear from what has been stated, namely that the Lord saw clearly what the situation was with the truth belonging to this rational - that it was not good. The Lord's Interior Man from which He saw is called 'the Living One who sees' because it was joined to the Internal Man, which is Jehovah, who Alone has life and who Alone sees, as shown just above in 1954.
