En de zon rees hem op; dat dit de verbinding van de goede dingen betekent, staat vast uit de betekenis van het verrijzen van de zon, namelijk de verbinding van de goede dingen; dat door het opgaan van de dageraad wordt aangeduid dat de verbinding nabij is of aanvangt, zie nr. 4283; hieruit volgt dat het verrijzen van de zon de verbinding zelf is; want de zon betekent in de innerlijke zin de hemelse liefde, nrs. 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495, 3636, 3643, 4060; dus de goede dingen, want deze zijn van die liefde; wanneer de hemelse liefde zich bij de mens openbaart, dat wil zeggen, wanneer zij wordt bemerkt, dan wordt er gezegd dat de zon hem verrijst, want dan worden de goede dingen van die liefde met hem verbonden.

4800. Very few people are able to believe that communities of spirits and angels exist with which every individual part of the human being has a correspondence, and also that the more communities there are, and the more members within any community, the better and stronger is the correspondence. For a multitude having one mind possesses real strength. To enable me to know that this is so, I was shown how they act on and enter into the face, how they do so into the muscles of the forehead, into those of the cheeks, and also into those of the chin and the throat. Those belonging to the province of the face were allowed to enter my face, where in response to their entry variations were produced in every individual part. Some of them also spoke to me. But they did not know that they were assigned to the province of the face, for this province to which they have been assigned is hidden from spirits, but not from angels.
