Palace

  

'A palace,' as in Psalm 144:12, represents the understanding in which truths have a beautiful form. They have a beautiful form when they are from affection for truth. 'A palace,' as in Amos 4:3, signifies the Word, and consequently, the truth of doctrine which is from good. 'A palace,' as in Isaiah 32:14, signifies the whole church regarding truths from good.

84. Love for Our Neighbor, or Caring

First of all, I need to define neighbor, because this is the one we are to love and the one toward whom caring is to be extended. Unless we know what neighbor means, we may extend caring in basically the same manner indiscriminately-just as much to evil people as to good ones. But in that case our caring can become the opposite of caring, because although the good people will use what they have been given to do good to their neighbor, the evil people will use it to do harm.
