So far, therefore, as his interiors receive heaven man is in respect to them a heaven in least form, after the imag... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=99 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 108 108. That all things in the world spring from the Divine, and are clothed with such things in nature as enable them to exist there and perform use, and thus to correspond, is clearly evident from the various things seen in both the animal and vegetable kingdoms. In both there are things that any one who thinks interiorly can see to be from heaven. For illustration a few things out of a countless n... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=108 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 111 111. There is a like correspondence with things in the vegetable kingdom. In general, a garden corresponds to the intelligence and wisdom of heaven; and for this reason heaven is called the Garden of God, and Paradise;1 and men call it the heavenly paradise. Trees, according to their species, correspond to the perceptions and knowledges of good and truth which are the source of intelligence and wi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=111 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 124 124.

The light of heaven is not a natural light, like the light of the world, but a spiritual light, because it is from the Lord as a sun, and that sun is the Divine love (as has been shown in the foregoing chapter). That which goes forth from the Lord as a sun is called in the heavens Divine truth, but in its essence it is Divine good united to Divine truth. From this the angels have light and he... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=127 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 128 128. The Divine truth is light to the angels because the angels are spiritual and not natural. Spiritual beings see from their sun, and natural beings from theirs.

The heat of heaven, like the light of heaven, is everywhere different. It is different in the celestial kingdom from what it is in the spiritual kingdom, and it is different in each society therein. It differs both in degree and in quality.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory (1:1... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=137 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 143 143. It is still more difficult to comprehend in the world that in every turning of their face and body the angels have the east before the face, since man according as he turns, has every quarter before his face.

But the turn... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=143 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 168 168.
