3225. All this now makes clear what correspondence is and where it originates, and also what representation is and where this originates. That is to say, correspondence exists between the things belonging to the light of heaven and those belonging to the light of the world, that is, between things belonging to the internal or spiritual man and those belonging to the external or natural man; and representation is everything whatever manifesting itself within things belonging to the light of the world, or within the external or natural man, that stands in specific relationship to things belonging to the light of heaven, that is, to things that spring from the internal or spiritual man.
