10200. “每早晨” 表每当清晰的爱之状态存在之时. 这从 “早晨” 的含义清楚可知, “早晨” 是指当清晰的爱之状态存在之时 (参看10134节), 因此, “每早晨” 是指每当这种状态存在之时. 前面已数次说明, 天上爱和光的状态, 也就是良善和真理的状态连续不断地依次接踵而来, 就像地上的早晨, 正午, 晚上和黎明, 以及春, 夏, 秋, 冬一样. 还说明, 一天四个时间段和一年四季都来源于这些状态; 因为在世界上产生的事物是存在于天堂中的真实事物的形像. 这是因为一切属世之物都是从属灵之物, 也就是天堂里的神性产生的. 由此明显可知, 天堂里的状态变化是何性质, 因为通过对比世上热和光的状态就能知道它们, 天堂里的热是来自主的爱之良善, 那里的光是来自主的信之真理. 那里的状态以这种方式接踵而来, 是为了让天使能不断变得更完美; 因为他们以这种方式经历良善和真理的一切变化, 并充满它们. 此外, 那里的爱之良善和信之真理的变化的不同, 就像地上所有特定地区或气候带的热和光的不同; 也就是说, 离赤道近的热和光, 不同于离赤道远的, 而且这一天的不同于下一天的, 以及这一年的不同于下一年的. 绝对相似或一模一样的东西从来不会返回, 因为主规定, 无论在灵界, 还是在自然界, 都没有绝对一模一样的东西; 完美由此不断增长.

Intellectual things -- ideas, knowledge, facts, even insight and understanding -- are more separate and free-standing than emotional things, and it's easier to imagine numbering them as individual things. Our loves and affections tend to be more amorphous -- they can certainly be powerful, but would be harder to measure. Using words like “much,” “many,” myriad” and “multitude” to describe a collection of things gives the sense that there is an exact number, even if we don't know what it is and don't want to bother trying to count. These words, then, are used in the Bible in reference to intellectual things -- our thoughts, knowledge and concepts. Words that indicate largeness without the idea of number -- “great” is a common one -- generally refer to loves, affections and the desire for good. Here's one way to think about this: Say you want to take some food to a friend who just had a baby. That's a desire for good (assuming you're doing it from genuinely good motives). To actually do it, though, takes dozens of thoughts, ideas, facts and knowledges. What does she like to eat? What do you have to cook? What do you cook well? Can you keep it hot getting to her house? Is it nutritious? Does she have any allergies? So one good desire can bring a multitude of ideas into play.
