Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

5555. There are spirits who during their lifetime knew no more than the general outlines of faith, such as the requirement to love their neighbour, and in obedience to this general basic command did good no less to the wicked than to the upright, without discriminating between those two kinds of people; for they said that everyone was their neighbour. When spirits like these lived in the world they allowed themselves to be led astray greatly by deceitful, hypocritical, and fraudulent persons. Much the same happens to them in the next life, where they do not bother to listen to what anyone else tells them because they are ruled by their senses and do not go in for rational ideas. These spirits constitute the skin - the outer part where there is not so much feeling. I have talked to those who constitute the skin which covers the skull. These differ considerably, as does the skin on various parts of the body, such as that on different areas of the skull to the back of it, to the front of it, and on the temples, or that on the face, and over the chest, abdomen, loins, feet, arms, hands, and fingers.
