Excerpt from The New Church Repository, and Monthly Review, 1851, Vol. 4: Devoted to the Exposition of the Philosophy and Theology Taught in the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg
Throughout the Divine Word that principle which we call Caloric, and which is the fundamental stimulus to all vitality, is signified by the term Fire. This, we are taught by an author whose pages are almost sacred in the eye of reason, corresponds to love - ia a good sense to celestial love, in an opposite sense to infernal love. And N ewchurchmen have always delighted to trace out the striking and beautiful analogies which are presented between the love or heat of the soul and that glorious emanation from the natural sun which ex ecutes the will while it images the nature of God. But the subject is of such vast and central importance in the true philosophy of mind and matter, that no time is wasted and no labor is fruitless, which comfirms or amplifies our conception of its truths.
