6431. 'The blessings of the deep lying beneath' means with factual knowledge which belongs in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed with blessings' as being endowed with the kinds of things that derive from the spiritual world; and from the meaning of 'the deep lying beneath' as factual knowledge in the natural. The natural is called 'the deep lying beneath' when considered in relation to the interiors constituting the heaven spoken of above in 6430. And since the natural is meant by 'the deep lying beneath', so too is factual knowledge meant, for factual knowledge and its delights belong in the natural and compose its life. This is especially true of the spiritual man, for he is led through factual knowledge to truths, and through truths to good. From all this it is evident that 'being blessed with the blessings of the deep lying beneath' means being endowed in the natural with factual knowledge and so with truths. Factual knowledge that holds truths in it and that belongs in the natural is also meant by 'the deep' in the blessing of Joseph recorded in Moses,

Blessed by Jehovah is his land, in regard to the precious things of heaven, to the dew, to the deep also lying beneath. Deuteronomy 33:13.

5569. Just as there is a correspondence of the bones and skin, so there is also a correspondence of the hairs on the body; for hairs come up out of roots in the skin. Whatever is part of the correspondence with the Grand Man exists with spirits and angels; for each one is related to the Grand Man as an image of the same. Angels therefore have hair, neatly and tidily arranged; their hair represents their natural life and the correspondence of this with their spiritual life. For 'the hair' or 'hairs' means the strands of one's natural life, see 3301, while 'cutting one's hair' means attending to natural things so as to make them tidy and so attractive, 5247.
