658. These three degrees, which in general are called those of man’s intellectual things, namely, understanding, reason, and memory-knowledge, are likewise signified, as before said, by the windows of the three stories of the temple at Jerusalem (1 Kings 6:4, 6, 8), and also as above by the rivers which went forth out of the Garden of Eden in the east. The “east” there signifies the Lord; “Eden” love, which is of the will; the “garden” intelligence thence derived; the “rivers” wisdom, reason, and memory-knowledge (concerning which see what was said before, Genesis 2:10-14).
