147. We have shown above that God does not exist in space, and that in consequence of this He is omnipresent, and also that the Divine is everywhere the same, but that we find a varying appearance of it in angels and people because of their varying reception. Now because the Divinity emanating from the Lord as the sun is contained in its light and warmth, and because the light and warmth flow first into all-encompassing media which in the world are called atmospheres, and these are the containers of clouds, it can be seen that as the interior elements which form the intellect in people and angels are enveloped in such clouds, so the intellect is the receptacle of the emanating Divine. By clouds we mean spiritual clouds, which are thoughts, which, if they spring from truths, accord with Divine wisdom, but which, if they spring from falsities, conflict. Consequently when thoughts springing from truths become visible in the spiritual world, they also appear as white clouds, and thoughts springing from falsities as black clouds. It can be seen from this that the emanating Divine is found indeed in all people, but that it is veiled by them in various ways.
