3741# 天堂的王国之所以像一个人的形状，是因为天堂里的每一样东西都与主对应。这里说的主，指的是他神性的人形。因为真正意义上的"人"只有主自己（参49，288，565，1894节）。正是因为天堂与主相对应、像主的样子、与主相似，所以我们把天堂叫做"至大的人"。
天堂中一切属天之善和属灵之真都源于主的神性。所有的天使都有他们自己的样式和本质，这完全取决于他们能接受多少主的神性。天使们所接受的主的神性被称为属天的和属灵的，这是当神性生命和神性之光在接受者中存在并产生变化时形成的。
【2】人体内的物质形式和实体也遵循同样的原理，只是处于较低层次，因为它们更为粗糙且结构更复杂。这些物质形式同样能够接受属天和属灵之物，这一点可以从许多明显的现象看出：比如我们的思维如何通过舌头的器官产生言语，情感如何在面部表情中显现，意志如何通过肌肉产生行动等。在这些过程中，引发这些现象的思维和意志属于属灵和属天的层面，而接受并实现这些的形式或实体则是物质的。这些物质形式显然是专门为接受这些属灵和属天之物而形成的。由此可以得出结论：这些物质形式源于属灵和属天之物，若不是这样，它们就不可能以现有的方式存在。

3741. CONTINUATION CONCERNING THE GRAND MAN AND CORRESPONDENCE THEREWITH. The heavenly kingdom presents the form of one man, for the reason that all the things therein correspond to the Only Lord-that is, to His Divine Human-who alone is Man (see n. 49, 288, 565, 1894). From correspondence with Him, and from being an image and likeness of Him, heaven is called the Grand Man. From the Divine of the Lord come in heaven all the celestial things which are of good, and all the spiritual things which are of truth. All the angels there are forms (that is, substances formed according to the reception) of the Divine things which are from the Lord. The Divine things of the Lord as received by the angels are what are called things celestial and spiritual, because in them the Divine life, together with the Divine light thence derived, come forth and are modified as in their recipients. [2] From this it is that the forms and material substances with man are also of the same nature, but in a lower degree, because grosser and more composite. That these also are forms recipient of celestial and spiritual things, is very evident from signs that are clearly visible; as from thought, which flows into the organic forms of the tongue, and produces speech; from the affections of the mind, which present themselves visible in the face; and from the will, which by the muscular forms flows into actions; and so on. Thought and will, which produce such effects, are spiritual and celestial, whereas the forms or substances which receive them and carry them into act, are material; and it is evident that these latter have been formed altogether for the reception of the former, and thus it is evident that the latter are from the former, and that unless they were from them, they could not have come forth such as they are.

3741. THE GRAND MAN AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH IT- continued
The heavenly kingdom resembles one human being since every specific thing in it corresponds to the only Lord - that is to say, to His Divine Human - who alone is Man, 49, 288, 565, 1894. By virtue of its correspondence with Him, and of its being the image and likeness of Him, heaven is called the Grand Man. The Lord's Divine is the source in heaven of everything celestial, which in essence is good, and of everything spiritual, which in essence is truth. Every angel there is a form, that is, every angel is substance taking a form that is determined by his reception of Divine qualities flowing from the Lord. These Divine qualities which are the Lord's and are received by the angels are called celestial and spiritual because Divine life, and from this Divine light, manifests itself and is modified in them as the recipients.
[2] In addition therefore the forms and material substances with man too are of a similar nature, though they exist in a lower degree since they are grosser and more composite. The fact that these too are recipient forms of celestial and spiritual qualities is quite evident from the plainly visible signs of them - for example, from thought which flows into the organic forms of the tongue and produces speech; from the feelings of mind which manifest themselves visibly in the face; or from the will which passes through the muscles of the body into actions; and so on. The thought and will which produce these activities are spiritual and celestial entities, whereas the forms or substances which receive them and carry them into effect are material. These material substances, it is clear, have been used to produce forms solely for the reception of those spiritual and celestial entities. From this it is evident that spiritual and celestial qualities are the source of the material forms, and that if they were not, such forms could not come into being at all.
