Walk

  

Walking represents living, and usually means living according to the true things taught to us by the Lord -- to "walk in His ways." When the Lord is pictured walking, it means life itself.

9149. 'When a man delivers to his companion silver or vessels for safe keeping' means truths derived from good, and factual knowledge that accords with them, in the memory. This is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth derived from good, dealt with in 1551, 2954, 5658, 6914, 6917, 7999, 8932; from the meaning of 'vessels' as factual knowledge, dealt with in 3068, the reason why accordant factual knowledge is meant being that all spiritual truths are stored within known facts as their vessels, 3079, and all factual knowledge accords with the truths it contains; and from the meaning of 'for safe keeping' as for retention in the memory. For in the spiritual sense, in which truths and factual knowledge are the subject, 'being placed in safe keeping' means being held in the memory, since this is where they are placed in safe keeping. 'A man's delivery of something to his companion for safe keeping' means storing it in his own memory; for when the sense of the letter speaks of two different persons, as it does here of a man and of a companion, one person is meant in the internal sense. For the two truths - or else truth and the factual knowledge that accords with it - can exist within a person as man and companion.
