{Footnote 1} The correspondence of all the members of the body
with the Greatest Man, or heaven, in general and in particular,
from experience (n. 3021, 3624-3649, 3741-3750, 3883-3895,
4039-4054, 4218-4228, 4318-4331, 4403-4421, 4523-4533,
4622-4633, 4652-4660, 4791-4805, 4931-4953, 5050-5061,
5171-5189, 5377-5396, 5552-5573, 5711-5727, 10030). The influx
of the spiritual world into the natural world or of heaven into
the world, and the influx of the soul into all things of the
body, from experience (n. 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6326,
6466-6495, 6598-6626). The interaction between soul and body,
from experience (n. 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6327, 6466-6495,
6598-6626).
99. But notwithstanding that all things of man's body correspond to
all things of heaven, it is not in respect to his external form that
man is an image of heaven, but in respect to his internal form; for
man's interiors are what receive heaven, while his exteriors receive
the world. So far, therefore, as his interiors receive heaven man is
in respect to them a heaven in least form, after the image of the
greatest. But so far as his interiors do not receive heaven he is not
a heaven and an image of the greatest, although his exteriors, which
receive the world, may be in a form in accordance with the order of
the world, and thus variously beautiful.
