The head is the part of us that is highest, which means in a representative sense that it is what is closest to the Lord. Because of this the head represents what is inmost in us, the thing at the center of our being. In most cases this means intelligence and wisdom, since most of us are in a state of life in which we are led by our thoughts and reason. In the case of the Lord, however, it often represents His perfect love. And in many cases the head is used to represent the whole person.

7908. 'Whether a sojourner or a native of the land' means someone belonging to the Church, whether he was not born in it or was born in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sojourner' as one who receives instruction in the Church's truths and forms of good and accepts them, dealt with in 1467, 4444, thus one who was not born within the Church but nevertheless joins it; and from the meaning of 'a native of the land' as one who was born within the Church.
