So because it is most perfect form, it must also have its centers, or its bases, spiritually understood. Those who are innermost and most of all under the mercy of God the Messiah, are such centers - likened to the stars of the heavens [Dan. 12:3], in which there is a reflection of the Kingdom of God the Messiah, as there is in all and the least things of nature.

But the arrangement among these centers I cannot find out, still less describe, because this goes beyond the human understanding, which is deeply ignorant of heavenly forms. 1747, the 5th day of December.
