The "midst" of something in the Bible represents the thing that is most central and most important to the spiritual state being described, the motivation that drives everything else. In general this will be something we love or feel, because at the core of things we are what we love; our loves define us.

'The neck' signifies influx and the communication of interior and exterior levels and their conjunction. The inmost or third heaven has reference to the head and the middle or second heaven has reference to the body. Therefore, because it is in the middle, 'the neck' signifies influx, and the communication of celestial things with spiritual things.
