304. The Lord united divine truth to divine goodness; that is, he united his human nature to the divine nature itself. The Lord was taught like anyone else: 1457, 1461, 2523, 3030. The Lord progressed step by step toward oneness with the Father: 1864, 2033, 2632, 3141, 4585, 7014, 10076. When the Lord was in a state of oneness with the Father he talked with him as identical with himself; in other states he spoke with him as someone other than himself: 1745, 1999, 7058. The Lord united his human nature to his divine nature by his own power: 1616, 1749, 1753, 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2523, 3043, 5005, 5045, 6716. The Lord united divine truth, which was he himself, with the divine goodness that was within him: 10047, 10052, 10076. The uniting was reciprocal: 2004, 10067. When the Lord left the world he made his human nature divine goodness: 3194, 3210, 6864, 7499, 8724, 9199, 10076. So he came forth from the Father and returned to the Father: 3194, 3210. In this way he became one with the Father: 2751, 3704, 4766. The Lord's purpose in becoming one with the divine nature that was within him was to be joined to the human race: 2034. Ever since this oneness became complete, divine truth has emanated from the Lord: 3704, 3712, 3969, 4577, 5704, 7499, 8127, 8241, 9199, 9398. A description of how divine truth emanates: 7270, 9407.

Unless the divine nature had been within the Lord's human nature from conception, his human nature could not have become one with his divine nature, because of the intensity of infinite love in which divinity itself resides: 6849. So there is no way for any angel to become one with the Divine itself except remotely and by means of veiling; otherwise the angel would be consumed: 6849. This is what divine love is like: 8644. This shows that the Lord's human nature was not like that of anyone else: 10125, 10826. His oneness with the Father, the source of his soul, was not like a uniting of two but like a uniting of a soul and a body: 3737, 10824. The relationship of the Lord's human nature with the Divine is called "oneness," while our relationship with the Divine is called "a joining together": 2021.
