78. It appears as though the Divine were not the same in one individual as in another, being seemingly of a different character in a wise person than in a simple one, for example, or of a different character in an elderly person than in a young child. But this is, owing to the appearance, a fallacy. The person may be of a different character, but the Divine is not of a different character in him. The person is a recipient, and a recipient or receiving vessel is variable. The wise person is a recipient of the Divine love and wisdom more amply, thus more fully, than the simple person, and the elderly person who is at the same time wise more than the young child or juvenile. But still the Divine is the same in the one and the other. It is likewise, owing to the appearance, a fallacy that the Divine is not the same in angels in heaven as in people on earth, because angels in heaven possess an inexpressible wisdom that people do not. But the apparent difference lies not in the Lord, but in the recipients in accordance with the quality of their reception of the Divine.
