8046. 'It is Mine' means that it is the Lord's. This is clear from the fact that in the Word 'Jehovah' is the Lord, 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905, 6945, 6956, so that 'it is Mine' means that it is the Lord's. The fact that all good and all truth, thus charity and faith, have their origin in the Lord, and none whatever in man, see 904 (end), 2411, 3142, 3147, 4151, 5482, 5649, 6193, 6325, 6466-6495, 6613-6626, 6982, 6985, 6996, 7004, 7055, 7056, 7058, 7270, 7343.

6466. INFLUX AND THE INTERACTION OF SOUL AND BODY - continued

It was shown at the ends of the previous chapters that both kinds of life residing with a person - the life of his thought and the life of his will - flow in from heaven, and that they do so through the angels and spirits present with him. But when it is said that they flow in from heaven, this should be taken to mean that they flow in from the Lord by way of heaven. For every trace of life residing with the angels is received from the Lord, as they themselves with one accord confess, for they see with perception that it is so. And since every trace of life residing with the angels is received from the Lord, so is every trace of life residing with man received from Him; for man is governed by the Lord through angels and spirits in particular, and through heaven in general.
