Swedenborg, Emanuel, 1688-1772

"Heaven and its Wonders and Hell"


{Footnote 1} Good recognizes its truth, and truth its good (n.
2429, 3101, 3102, 3161, 3179, 3180, 4358, 5704, 5835, 9637). In
this way good and truth are conjoined (n. 3834, 4096, 4097,
4301, 4345, 4353, 4364, 4368, 5365, 7623-7627, 7752-7762, 8530,
9258, 10555). This is effected by influx from heaven (n. 9079).

206. In each heaven there is such a form, and in accordance with it
the angels have communication and extension of thoughts and
affections, and thus in accordance with it they have intelligence and
wisdom. But the communication of one heaven with another is
different, that is, of the third or inmost with the second or middle,
and of this with the first or outmost. But the communication between
the heavens should not be called communication but influx. About this
something shall now be said. That there are three heavens distinct
from each other can be seen above in its own chapter (n. 29-40).

207. That between one heaven and another there is influx but not
communication can be seen from their relative position. The third or
inmost heaven is above, the second or middle heaven is below, and the
first or outmost heaven is still lower.
