Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5015

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5015. 'He came to me to lie with me' means that that truth - spiritual natural truth - wanted to be joined to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming' in this case as wanting, for anyone who comes intent on something is wanting it; and from the meaning of 'lying with' as joining together, dealt with above in 4989, 5001, 5007.
