Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 153

153. There are two suns by which the Lord created all things-the sun in the spiritual world and the sun in the natural world. The Lord created all things by means of the sun in the spiritual world and not by means of the sun in the natural world, for the sun in the natural world is far below the sun in the spiritual world. The sun in the natural world is in an intermediate position. Above it is the spiritual world, and below it is the natural world. And the sun in the natural world was created to contribute subsidiary assistance. (We will say more about this assistance in subsequent discussions.)
