{Footnote 1} In the Word what is interior is expressed by what
is higher and what is higher signifies what is interior (n.
2148, 3084, 4599, 5146, 8325). What is "high" signifies what is
internal, and likewise heaven (n. 1735, 2148, 4210, 4599,

who are in the good of faith (n. 10438). Therefore in the Word
"mountains" signify the good of love (n. 795, 4210, 6435, 8327,
8758, 10438, 10608). "Hills" signify the good of charity (n.
6435, 10438). "Rocks" signify the good and truth of faith (n.
8581, 10580). "Stone," of which rock consists, in like manner
signifies the truth of faith (n. 114, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426,
8609, 10376). This is why "mountains" signify heaven (n. 8327,
8805, 9420). And "the summit of a mountain" signifies the
highest part of heaven (n. 9422, 9434, 10608). Also why the
ancients had their holy worship on mountains (n.
