113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 9510, 9874, 9881).
Silver signifies spiritual good, that is, truth from a
celestial origin (n. 1551, 1552, 2954, 5658). Copper signifies
natural good (n. 425, 1551). Iron signifies truth in the
outmost of order (n. 425, 426).
116. XIV. THE SUN IN HEAVEN.
In heaven neither the sun of the world, nor anything from that sun,
is seen, because it is wholly natural. For nature has its beginning
from that sun, and whatever is produced by means of it is called
natural. But the spiritual, to which heaven belongs, is above nature
and wholly distinct from what is natural; and there is no
communication between the two except by correspondences. What the
distinction between them is may be understood from what has been
already said about degrees (n. 38), and what the communication is
from what has been said in the two preceding chapters about
correspondences.
117. Although the sun of the world is not seen in heaven, nor
anything from that sun, there is nevertheless a sun there, and light
and heat, and all things that are in the world, with innumerable
others, but not from a like origin; since the things in heaven are
spiritual, and those in the world are natural.
