3485). The Divine influx
is turned into representatives in the higher heavens, and
therefrom in the lower heavens also (n. 2179, 3213, 9457, 9481,
9576, 9577). Those things are called representative that appear
before the eyes of the angels in such form as are in nature,
that is, such as are in the world (n. 9457). Internal things
are thus turned into external (n. 1632, 2987-3002). What
representatives in the heavens are; this made clear by various
examples (n. 1521, 1532, 1619-1628, 1807, 1973, 1974, 1977,
1980, 1981, 2299, 2601, 2761, 2762, 3217, 3219, 3220, 3348,
3350, 5198, 9090, 10276). All things seen in the heavens are in
accordance with correspondences and are called representatives
(n. 3213-3226, 3342, 3475, 3485, 9481, 9457, 9576, 9577). All
things that correspond also represent and likewise signify what
they correspond to (n. 2896, 2987, 2989-2991, 3002, 3225).
176. To show what the things are that appear to the angels in
accordance with correspondences, I will here mention one only for the
sake of illustration. By those who are intelligent, gardens and parks
full of trees and flowers of every kind are seen.
