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.

7995. This is the statute of the Passover' means the laws of order for those who have been delivered from damnation and molestations. This is clear from the meaning of 'the statute' as that which arises from order, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the Passover' as the Lord's presence and deliverance from damnation, dealt with in 7097 (end), 7867. As regards that which arises from order, meant by 'the statute', it should be recognized that all the statutes which the children of Israel were commanded were the laws of order in their outward form, while the realities which those statutes were representations and meaningful signs of were the laws of order in their inward form, laws of order being truths deriving from good. The complex whole to which all the laws of order belong is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good. From this it is evident that in heaven order consists in what is completely Divine and the Lord's, Divine Good being the inner essence of order and Divine Truth its outward form.
