Verso 37. Al hombre de la Iglesia Espiritual derivada de la Celestial, por influjo ordenado, que los exteriores del culto considerados en sí mismos han de ser elevados y conservados, y que el amor profano que los pervierte ha de ser rechazado al mismo tiempo, porque el culto exterior es el receptáculo propio de lo que es interior, y por tanto es santo.

170. REPRESENTATIVES AND APPEARANCES IN HEAVEN

The man who thinks from natural light alone is unable to comprehend that there is anything in heaven like what is in the world, the reason being that from natural light he had thought and confirmed himself in the idea that angels are only minds and that minds are, as it were, ethereal breaths having, as a consequence, no senses like those of men, thus no eyes and if no eyes no objects of sight. Yet, an angel has all the senses that a man has, and much more exquisite senses. Indeed, the light by which angels see is much brighter than the light by which man sees. That angels are men in the most perfect form, and enjoy every sense may be seen above (73-77), and that the light in heaven is much brighter than the light in the world (126-132).
