Head

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.

9655. 'And you shall make two boards for the corners of the dwelling-place at the two legs' means the essential nature of the joining to good there. This is clear from what comes next, where it says that the boards there 'shall be paired from below, and at the same time paired up to its head to one ring', which describes the essential nature of the joining to good there. For 'two' means a joining together, 9645, 'boards' good that lends support, 9634, and 'the corners of the dwelling-place at the two legs' the borders where that good exists, 9653.
