61. De engelen die een dergelijke idee over de mens hebben, letten er nooit op wat iemand met zijn lichaam doet, maar stellen veel belang in de wil, waaruit het lichaam handelt. Dit noemen zij de mens zelf en het verstand noemen zij de mens voorzover het met de wil samenwerkt.
Divine Providence #204
204. 5. Heaven and hell are in this kind of form. I have noted in Heaven and Hell 59-102 (published in London in 1758) that heaven is in the human form and have mentioned the same in Divine Love and Wisdom and occasionally in the present work, so I refrain from presenting further support.
I have said that hell is also in a human form, but it is in a grotesque human form, the kind of form the devil has, the devil meaning hell taken as a whole. Hell has a human form because the people there were born human and have those two human capacities called freedom and rationality even though they have misused their freedom for intending and doing evil and their rationality for thinking and justifying it.
