“Divine love produces life the way fire produces light . Fire has two qualities: burning and shining. Its burning radiates heat and its shining radiates light. Likewise love has two qualities. The burning quality of fire corresponds to one of them; it is something that affects our will at the deepest level. The shining quality of fire corresponds to the other: it is something that affects our intellect at the deepest level.
This is where our love and intelligence come from, because the heat that radiates from the sun in the spiritual world is essential love, and its light is essential wisdom. That love and that wisdom flow into each and every thing in the universe and affect them at the deepest level. In us, they flow into our will and intellect; both were created as vessels to receive what flows in, the will as a vessel for love and the intellect as a vessel for wisdom”
Emmanuel Swedenborg
