THE DIVINE CALLED THE HOLY SPIRIT, PROCEEDING FROM GOD BY MEANS OF HIS HUMAN, PASSES THROUGH THE ANGELIC HEAVEN INTO THE WORLD, THUS THROUGH ANGELS INTO MEN 1. The One God in His Human is above the angelic heaven, being visible there as a Sun, from which proceed love as heat and wisdom as light. 2. Thus the Holy of God, called the Holy Spirit, flows in regular order into the heavens, directly into the highest heaven, called the third heaven, directly and also mediately into the middle heaven, called the second, and likewise into the outermost heaven, called the first. 3. Through these heavens it flows into the world, and through this into men there. 4. Nevertheless angels of heaven are not the Holy Spirit. 5. All the heavens together with the Churches on earth are, in the sight of the Lord, as a single man. 6. The Lord alone is the soul and life of that man, and all those who are filled with breath by Him, and live from Him, are His body; this is the reason for its being said that the faithful compose the Lord's body, and that they are in Him, and He is in them. 7. The Lord flows in into angels of heaven and into men of the Church in much the same way as the soul, with men, flows into the body.
