200. Heaven's Form, Which Determines How People Associate and Communicate There
To some extent, we can determine what heaven's form is like on the basis of what has been presented in the preceding chapters - that heaven has a basic similarity in its greatest and its smallest instances (72); that therefore each community is a heaven in lesser form, and each angel in least form (51-58); that as heaven as a whole resembles a single person, so every community of heaven resembles a person in lesser form and every individual angel in least form (59-77); that the wisest people are at the center, with the less wise around them all the way to the borders, and that the same holds true for each community (43); and that people who are engaged in the good of love live along the east-west axis and people who are engaged in truths that derive from the good along the south-north axis, which also holds true for each community (148-149). All these things are determined by heaven's form, so we can figure out what that form is like in a general sense. 1
Фусноте:
1. [Swedenborg's footnote] The whole heaven - specifically all its angelic communities - is arranged by the
Lord according to his divine order, since the Lord's divine [nature] in and around the angels constitutes heaven: 3038, 7211, 9128, 9338, 10125, 10151, 10157. On the heavenly form: 4040-4043, 6607, 9877.
