Arcana Coelestia # 6836
6836. I will therefore go aside, and see this great vision. That this signifies reflection on this revelation, is evident from the signification of “going aside and seeing,” as being to reflect, for in the spiritual sense “to go aside” denotes to turn aside from the present thought; and “to see” denotes to perceive, thus both expressions together denote to reflect; and from the signification of a “vision,” as being revelation (see n. 6000). It is called a “great vision,” because in the supreme sense by the “flame in the bramble” is signified the Divine truth united to the Divine good in the Lord’s Human (n. 6834).
Daniel 7:7
