A human being is nothing else but an organ or vessel that
receives life from the Lord; we do not live on our own.
The life that flows into us from the Lord comes from his
divine love. This love, or the life that radiates from it,
flows in and bestows itself on the vessels in our rational
and earthly minds. Such vessels in us face away from the
life force because of the evil we inherit by birth and the
evil we ourselves acquire by committing it. However, so
far as it can do so, the inflowing life repositions the vessels to receive itself.
