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.

7827. 'He said, This month shall be for you the head of months' means that this state is the chief of all states. This is clear from the meaning of 'month' as the end of the state that is previous and the beginning of the one that comes next, thus a new state, dealt with in 3814; and from the meaning of 'the head', when used in reference to months of the year and in the internal sense to states of life, as the chief one. From this it is clear that 'this month shall be for you the head of months' means that this state is the chief of all states. The reason why that state is the chief one of all is contained in the words that come next.
