ON THE DIVINE INTUITION 173
26. And then, secondly, we are to understand
te original will of Nature, viz. the comprehensi-
lity of the centra., where each centrum in the
visibility shuts itself in a place to egoism and
slf-will as an individual mysterium or mind. Out

herein the good, divine, emanated will may work

s own comprehensibility; through which com-
rehension it makes itself material, and requires
othing but its corporality as a natural ground.
28. In these two we are to understand the good
ad evil will in all things. And it is herein rightly
nderstood how the inward, spiritual ground of

29. Further, we should clearly observe that
ist as the individual, natural desire, which has a
eginning, makes itself material and makes for
self a counterstroke, viz. a likeness, wherein it
rorks ; so also the divine ground and will through
le comprehensibility of its love makes for itself
counterstroke and spiritual being, wherein
