2990# 我们应该认识到，或者至少可以理解，存在着灵性世界和自然世界这两个领域。从整体上看，灵性世界是灵和天使所居住的地方，而自然世界则是人类生活的世界。从个体角度来看，每个人同时存在着灵性和自然两个世界。一个人的里面可以被视为他的灵性世界，而外在世界则是他的自然世界。
从灵性世界流入并在自然世界中呈现出来的内容，我们称之为代表。而这些来自灵性世界的内容与自然世界表现之间的一致程度，就是我们所说的对应。
2990、人们也知道，或可能知道有一个灵界，也有一个自然界。从普遍意义上说，灵界是灵人和天使所住的地方，自然界是世人所住的地方。但从具体意义上说，每个人都有一个灵界和一个自然界在里面。对他来说，他的内在人是一个灵界，他的外在人是一个自然界。一般来说，从灵界流入并呈现在自然界中的事物就是代表。它们彼此一致到何等程度，就在何等程度上是对应。

2990. It is also known, or may be known, that there is a spiritual world, and also a natural world. In the universal sense the spiritual world is where spirits and angels dwell; and the natural world is where men dwell. In particular, there is a spiritual world and a natural world with every man: his internal man being to him a spiritual world, and his external man being to him a natural world. The things that flow in from the spiritual world and are presented in the natural world, are in general representations; and insofar as they agree they are correspondences.

2990. It is well known, or able to be known, that there is a spiritual world and that there is a natural world. In a universal sense the spiritual world is where spirits and angels dwell and the natural world where men dwell, but in a particular sense there is a spiritual world and a natural with every individual person, his internal man being for him a spiritual world, and his external man a natural world. The things that flow in from the spiritual world and present themselves in the natural are, in general, representations. And to the extent they agree with each other they are correspondences.

2990. {1} Notum etiam est, vel esse potest, quod sit mundus spiritualis et quod mundus naturalis; mundus spiritualis in universali est ubi spiritus et angeli, et mundus naturalis ubi homines: in particulari, est mundus spiritualis et naturalis apud unumquemvis hominem, internus ejus homo est ipsi mundus spiritualis, externus autem est ipsi mundus naturalis; quae influunt e mundo spirituali et sistuntur in naturali, sunt in genere repraesentationes; et quantum conveniunt, sunt correspondentiae. @1 2890 I, an error continued to 2996$
