95.  That love begets heat, and wisdom light, is manifest from actual experience.  When man loves he grows warm, and when he thinks from wisdom he sees things as it were in light.  And from this it is evident that the first proceeding of love is heat, and that the first proceeding of wisdom is light.  That they are also correspondences is obvious; for heat takes place [existit] not in love itself, but from love in the will, and thence in the body; and light takes place not in wisdom, but in the thought of the understanding, and thence in the speech.  Consequently love and wisdom are the essence and life of heat and light.  Heat and light are what proceed, and because they are what proceed, they are also correspondences.

96.  That spiritual light is altogether distinct from natural light, any one may know if he observes the thoughts of his mind.  For when the mind thinks, it sees its objects in light, and they who think spiritually see truths, and this at midnight just as well as in the daytime.  For this reason light is predicated of the understanding, and the understanding is said to see; thus one sometimes declares of something which another says that he sees (that is, understands) that it is so.  The understanding, because it is spiritual, cannot thus see by natural light, for natural light does not inhere in man, but withdraws with the sun.  From this it is obvious that the understanding enjoys a light different from that of the eye, and that this light is from a different origin.

97.  Let every one beware of thinking that the sun of the spiritual world is God Himself.  God Himself is a Man.  The first proceeding from His Love and Wisdom is that fiery spiritual [substance] which appears before the angels as a sun.  When, therefore, the Lord manifests Himself to the angels in person, He manifests Himself as a Man; and this sometimes in the sun, sometimes outside of it.

98.  It is from this correspondence that in the Lord the Lord is called not only a “sun” but also “fire” and “light.”  And by the “sun” is meant Himself as to Divine Love and Divine Wisdom together; by “fire” Himself in respect to Divine Love, and by “light” Himself in respect to Divine Wisdom.

99.  Spiritual heat and light in proceeding from the lord as A sun, make one, just as his Divine love and Divine wisdom make one.

How Divine Love and Divine Wisdom in the Lord make one has been explained in Part I.; in like manner heat and light make one, because they proceed from these, and the things which proceed make one by virtue of their correspondence, heat, corresponding to love, and light to wisdom.  From this it follows that as Divine Love is Divine Esse [Being] and Divine Wisdom is Divine Existere [Taking form] (as shown above, n. 14-16), so spiritual heat is thy Divine proceeding
