BLOOD
A symbol of the Divine Life manifested on the
lower planes, either in a higher or a lower sense.
"But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall
ye not eat." - GENESIS. ix. 3.
But of the lower desires (flesh-life) with their instinctive
rebellion against the higher nature, nothing, to nourish the soul,
is to be derived.
"Blood everywhere signifies in a spiritual sense the divine truth of
the Lord, which also is the divine truth of the Word; and in an
opposite sense, the divine truth of the Word falsified or profaned."
- SWEDENBORG, Apocalypse Revealed, n. 379.
