6431. With the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath. That this signifies with the memory-knowledges that are in the natural, is evident from the signification of “being blessed with blessings,” as being to be endowed with such things as are from the spiritual world; and from the signification of the “deep that lieth beneath,” as being the memory-knowledges in the natural. It is relatively to the interiors (which are “heaven”) that the natural is called “the deep that lieth beneath” (see above, n. 6430); and as the natural is signified by “the deep that lieth beneath,” memory-knowledges are also signified, for these together with their delights are in the natural, and make its life, especially with the spiritual man, because by means of memory-knowledges he is introduced into truths, and by means of truths into good; from which it is evident that by “being blessed with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath” is signified to be endowed with memory-knowledges, thus with truths, in the natural. By the “deep” are also signified the truths of memory-knowledge in the natural in the blessing of Joseph in Moses:

Blessed of Jehovah be his land; for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, for the deep also that lieth beneath (Deuteronomy 33:13).
