Arcana Coelestia # 102
102. Verse 9 And Jehovah God caused to spring up out of the ground every tree desirable to the sight and good for food; and the tree of life 1 in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
'Tree' means perception, 'tree desirable to the sight' the perception of what is true, 'tree good for food' the perception of what is good, 'tree of life' love and faith deriving from love, and 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' faith derived from sensory evidence, that is, from knowledge.
