| . there are three infinite The reason why there are three infinite and uncreated degrees of altitude in the Lord, is because the Lord is Love itself and Wisdom itself, as has been demonstrated in the preceding pages; jimmy choo and because the Lord is love itself and wisdom itself, therefore also He is Use itself; for love for its end has use, which it produces by wisdom; for love and wisdom without use have no bound nor end, or they have not their abode; wherefore it cannot be said that they are and exist, unless there is a use in which they are J. These three constitute the three degrees of altitude in subjects of life. These three are Jike the first end, the middle end, which is called the cause, and the jimmy choo uggs ultimate end, which is called the effect. That end, cause and effect constitute the three degrees of altitude has been shown above, and abundantly confirmed.That those three degrees are in man, may be evident from the elevation of his mind, even to the degrees of love and wisdom in which the jimmy choo angels of the second and third heaven are; for all angels were born men; and man, as to the interiors which are of his mind, is a heaven in the least form. Therefore, as many heavens as there are, so many degrees of altitude are there with man from crea» tion, man also is an image and likeness of God; wherefore those three degrees are inscribed on man, because they are in God Man, that is, in the Lord. That these degrees in the Lord are infinite and uncreated, and that in man jimmy choo shoes they are finite and created, may be evident from what was demonstrated in First, as from these things, that the Lord is love and wisdom in'Himself; and that man is a recipient of love and wisdom from the Lord; also that of the jimmy choo shoes Lord nothing can be predicated but infinite, and of man nothing but finite.These three degrees with the angels are named, Heavenly, celestia^, spiritual, and natural ; and with them the heavenly celestial, degree is the degree of love, the spiritual degree is the degree of wisdom, and the natural degree is the degree of uses. | | | | Admin Root
