{1} The influx of spiritual angels into man is into his
head every where, from the forehead and temples to the whole part
that contains the cerebrum, because that region of the head
corresponds to intelligence; but the influx of celestial angels is
into that part of the head that contains the cerebellum, and is
called the occiput, from the ears all around even to the neck, for
that region corresponds to wisdom. All the speech of angels with man
enters by these ways into his thought; and by this means I have
perceived what angels they were that spoke with me.
{Footnote 1} The "forehead" corresponds to heavenly love, and
consequently in the Word signifies that love (n. 9936). The
"face" corresponds to the interiors of man, which belong to
thought and affection (n. 1568, 2988 2989, 3631, 4796, 4797,
4800, 5165, 5168, 5695, 9306). The face is formed to
correspondence with the interiors (n. 4791-4805, 5695).
Consequently the "face," in the Word, signifies the interiors
(n. 1999, 2434, 3527, 4066, 4796).
252. Those who talk with the angels of heaven also see the things
that exist in heaven, because they are then seeing in the light of
heaven, for their interiors are in that light; also the angels
through them see the things that are on the earth,{1} because in them
heaven is conjoined to the world and the world is conjoined to
heaven.
