173、天堂里事物产生的方式与世上事物产生的方式不同。在天堂,一切事物的产生都源自主,与天使的内层相对应。因为天使既有内层也有外层。其内层里的一切事物都与爱和信有关,因而与意志和理智有关,因为意志和理智是它们的容器,而他们的外层则对应他们的内层。外层对应内层可参看前文(87-115节),这可以通过上面所说的天堂的热和光来说明——天使依照其爱的品质而拥有热,依照其智慧的品质而拥有光(128-134节)。在天使的感官面前出现的所有其它事物也是如此。

173. 出现在天堂里的事物出现的方式不同于世上的事物. 在天堂, 一切事物都应着天使的内层从主形成. 因为天使既有内层也有外层. 其内层里的一切事物都与爱和信有关, 因而与意愿和理解力有关, 因为意愿和理解力就是它们的容器; 而他们的外层则对应于他们的内层. 外层事物对应于内层事物(参看87-115节). 这一点可通过前面有关天堂的热和光的阐述来说明, 即: 天使照其爱的品质而拥有热, 照其智慧的品质而拥有光(天国的奥秘 128-134节). 这同样适用于冲击天使感官的其它事物.

173. 天國中出現的事物並不以同樣的方式出現於人間。在天國中, 一切事物的形成源自於主, 並且萬物都是天人內在屬性的反映。事實上, 天人有更內在與更外在的屬性。內在的一切事物都關乎仁與信, 因為意志和認知是仁與信的容器, 所以也關乎意志和認知。外在的一切事物則與其內在完全對應(關於外在與內在的對應, 可參看87-115)。這一點可從天國的熱與光得到說明:他們所感受的熱與其仁愛的特質相應, 所感受的光與其智慧的特質相應(128-134)。對於其它感官, 道理是一樣的。
173. Things that arise in the heavens do not arise in the same way as things on earth. In the heavens, everything comes into being from the Lord in response to the deeper natures of the angels. Angels do in fact have more inward and more outward natures. Everything that is deeper within them has to do with love and faith, and therefore with their intending and discernment, since their intending and discernment are the vehicles of their love and faith. Their more outward natures, though, are perfectly responsive to their inner natures (on the responsiveness of their outward natures to their more inward ones, see 87-115 above). This can be illustrated by what we have said above about heaven's warmth and light, that angels have warmth in keeping with the quality of their love, and light in keeping with the quality of their wisdom (see 128-134). The same holds true for the other things that impinge on angels' senses.

173. The things which come into existence in the heavens do not do so in the same manner as do the things on earth. In the heavens, all things come into existence from the Lord in accordance with their correspondences with the interiors of the angels. For angels have both interiors and exteriors. All things in their interiors have relation to love and faith, thus to the will and the understanding, for the will and the understanding are their receptacles, while their exteriors correspond to their interiors. That exteriors correspond to interiors may be seen above (87-115). This can be illustrated by what has been said above about the heat and light of heaven-that angels have heat in accordance with the quality of their love, and light in accordance with the quality of their wisdom (see 28-134). The same is true of all other things that present themselves before the senses of the angels.

173. The things that come forth in heaven do not come forth in the same manner as those on the earth. All things in heaven come forth from the Lord in correspondence with the interiors of the angels. For angels have both interiors and exteriors. All things in their interiors have relation to love and faith, thus to the will and understanding, since the will and understanding are their receptacles; while their exteriors correspond to their interiors. That exterior things correspond to interior things may be seen above (87-115). This is illustrated by what has been said above about the heat and light of heaven, that angels have heat in accordance with the quality of their love, and light in accordance with the quality of their wisdom (128-134). The like is true of all other things that present themselves to the senses of angels.

173. Illa quae in caelis existunt, non existunt similiter sicut illa quae in terris in caelis omnia existunt a Domino secundum correspondentias cum interioribus angelorum sunt enim angelis interiora et exteriora quae in interioribus illorum sunt, se referunt omnia ad amorem et fidem, ita ad voluntatem et intellectum, nam voluntas et intellectus sunt receptacula illorum exteriora autem correspondent interioribus quod exteriora correspondeant interioribus, videatur supra (87-115). Illustrari hoc potest ex illis quae supra De Calore et Luce Caeli dicta sunt quod angelis calor sit secundum quale amoris illorum, et lux secundum quale sapientiae illorum, videatur, 128-134. Similiter reliqua quae coram sensibus angelorum apparent.
