Arcana Coelestia # 10332
10332. ‘Ad excogitandum excogitationes, ad faciendum in auro, et in argento, et in aere’: quod 1 significet ad repraesentandum bona et vera interiora et exteriora quae intellectus ex voluntate, ita quae fidei ex amore, constat ex significatione ‘excogitare excogitationes’ seu invenire inventiones, quod sit quod procedit ex intellectu, de qua n. 9598, 9688; ex significatione ‘facere’ quod sit quod procedit ex voluntate, de qua n. 9282, nam quod facit homo, hoc ex 2 velle ejus procedit, hic ex 2 velle per intellectum, nam dicitur ad excogitandum 3 excogitationes ad faciendum; ex significatione ‘auri’ quod sit bonum, et ‘argenti’ quod sit verum, de qua n. 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9881, 4 9874; et ex significatione ‘aeris’ quod sit bonum naturalis seu externi hominis, de qua n. 425, 1551; inde per ‘aurum, argentum, et aes’ significantur bona et vera interiora et exteriora, 5 per ‘aurum’ bonum interius, 6 per ‘argentum’ verum interius et 7 exterius, et 8 per ‘aes’ bonum externum; quod sit repraesentativum horum bonorum et verorum quod significatur, est quia agitur de Ecclesia repraesentativa, et omnia quae Bezaleel facturus 9 erat, 10 repraesentativa erant 11 .
[2] Ex his patet quod per ‘ad excogitandum excogitationes ad faciendum in auro, 12 in argento, et in aere’ significetur ad repraesentandum bona et vera interiora et exteriora quae intellectus ex voluntate; quod etiam sint quae fidei ex amore, est quia vera sunt fidei, ac vera se referunt ad intellectum, et bona sunt amoris, ac bona se referunt ad voluntatem. Dicitur intellectus ex voluntate, et fides ex amore, quia intellectus non est quicquam nisi sit ex voluntate, nam quod 13 intelligit homo et non vult, non est intellectus hominis sed est intellectus 14 alterius in se, quapropter is intellectus perit; aliter intellectus 15 ex voluntate, ille est ipsius hominis, quoniam voluntas est ipse homo; similiter se habet cum fide et amore, nam, ut dictum est, vera fidei se referunt ad intellectum, et bona amoris ad voluntatem.

Child
A child is a young boy or girl in the care of parents, older than a suckling or an infant, but not yet an adolescent. "Children" are sometimes used as a name for a large group of descendants of one person, such as the Children of Israel, or even all human beings as the Children of Men. A child represents innocence and charity, where innocence is the willingness to be led, and charity is love. This is why Jesus blessed them and suggested that we all become like children in order to enter heaven.
