In its inmosts the Sacred Scripture is no other than God, that is, the
Divine which proceeds from God.... In its derivatives it is
accommodated to the perception of angels and men. In these it is
Divine likewise, but in another form, in which this Divine is called
"Celestial," "Spiritual," and "Natural." These are no other than
coverings of God. Still the Divine, which is inmost, and is covered
with such things as are accommodated to the perceptions of angels and
men, shines forth like light through crystalline forms, but variously,
according to the state of mind which a man has formed for himself,
either from God or from self. In the sight of the man who has formed
the state of his mind from God, the Sacred Scripture is like a mirror
in which he sees God, each in his own way. The truths which he learns
from the Word and which become a part of him by a life according to
them, compose that mirror. The Sacred Scripture is the fulness of God.
