6807. SPIRITS BELONGING TO THE PLANET MERCURY
It has been shown at the ends of quite a number of chapters that heaven as a whole resembles a human being, called the Grand Man, and that every single detail both of the outward and of the inward aspects of a human being correspond to that Man, which is heaven. But those who come from our planet into the next life, being relatively few in numbers, are not sufficient to compose this Grand Man. People from many other planets are needed; and as soon as the correspondence is anywhere deficient in quantity or in quality the Lord sees to it that people are immediately summoned from one planet or another to fill the gap, so that the right balance is achieved and heaven is accordingly made stable.

26
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'
