I am convinced Emanuel Swedenborg was enlightened....i get a feeling of Divine love when I read his works. Uplifting. "God is infinite, that is, not finite; since He(she) Himself, as the Creator, Former, and Maker of the universe, gave finiteness to all things; and this He did by means of His sun, in the midst of which He is, and which is constituted the Divine essence that goes forth from Him as a sphere. There, and from that, is the first of the finiting process, and its progress reaches even to the outmost things of the world nature; consequently in Himself(Her) God is infinite because He is uncreated. To man, nevertheless, because he is finite and thinks from things finite, the infinite seems to be nothing; and therefore he feels that if the finite which adheres to his thought should be taken away, what would be left would amount to nothing. And yet the truth is that God is infinitely all; and man of himself in comparison is nothing."
