72、每个社群在整体上显为一个人形，是因为天堂在整体上显为人形（如前文所述）。此外，在诸如天堂这样最完美的形像中，部分与整体相似，较小的形式与最大的形式相似（参见51-58节）。这种相似是永恒的，因为在天堂里，所有的良善都来自同一个爱，也就是说，来自同一个源头。这独一的爱，是天堂里所有良善的源头，就是对主的爱，这爱来自主。正因如此，整个天堂在总体上呈现主的样式，｛注1｝局部的各社群以及具体的每一个天使也都呈现主的样式，如前所述（第58节）。
｛注1｝：【中】这里译为“样式”（likeness）的地方，也可以中译为“形像”。史威登堡在《属天的奥秘》中解释道：“形像”（image）不等于“样式”（likeness），而是遵照“样式”，故经上说：“我们要照着我们的形像，按着我们的样式造人。”（创世记1:26）属灵之人具有上帝的“形像”，属天之人具有上帝的“样式”（51）。从这个意义讲，“样式”是比“形像”更像主的形像。本中文版中，在不特别强调属天、属灵的差异时，习惯上将“likeness”译为“形像”。

72. 每个社群当显为一个整体时, 就呈现为一个人的形式, 因为天堂作为一个整体就具有这种形式; 这一点在前一章已经说明. 此外, 在最完美的形式, 如天堂的形式中, 部分与整体, 以及较小形式与最大形式都有一个样式. 天堂的较小形式和部分, 就是构成它的社群, 也就是较小形式的天堂(参看51-58节). 这种样式贯穿始终, 因为在天堂, 所有人的良善都来自一个爱, 因而来自一个源头. 这一个爱, 作为天堂所有人良善的源头, 就是来自主的对主之爱. 正因如此, 总体上的整个天堂, 和不怎么总体的每个社群, 以及具体的每位天使都是主的一个样式, 如前所示(58节).

72. 每個社群在總體上呈現一個人的形態, 就是因為天國在總體上呈現一個人的形態(如上一章所述)。在天國這至為完美的形態裡, 局部形如整體, 微觀形如宏觀。天國的局部就是組成天國的各個社群, 每個社群都是一個小型的天國(51-58)。局部與整體之所以形似, 在於天國的所有品質都是出於仁, 出
於同一個源頭。仁乃是對主之仁, 從主而來, 是天國一切善的源頭。所以, 籠統言之, 整個天國呈現主的樣式;具體言之, 每個社群呈現主的樣式;細微言之, 每位天人呈現主的樣式(58)。
72. The reason each community appears in human likeness when it is seen all together as a unit is that heaven as a whole has this likeness, as may be seen in the preceding chapter; and in the most perfect form, like the form of heaven, there is a likeness of parts and whole, of lesser and greatest. The lesser elements and parts of heaven are the communities of which it consists, each of which is a heaven in lesser form, as may be seen above in 51-58.
The reason for this constant likeness is that in the heavens all the qualities stem from a single love and therefore from a single source. The single love that is the origin of everything good in heaven is love for the Lord from the Lord. This is why all heaven is a likeness of him on the grand scale, every community a likeness on a less grand scale, and every angel in specific. See what has been said on this matter above in 58.

72. Each society, when it appears as one whole, is in the likeness of a man for the reason that heaven as a whole so appears, as may be seen in the preceding section. Moreover, in the most perfect form such as that of heaven is, there is likeness of the parts with the whole, and of lesser parts with the greatest. The lesser forms and parts of heaven are the societies of which it consists which also are heavens in lesser form, as may be seen above (51-58). This likeness is continuous throughout because in the heavens the goods of all are from one love, thus from one origin. The one love which is the origin of the good of all in heaven is love to the Lord from the Lord. It is from this that the entire heaven in general, any one society less generally, and each angel in particular is a likeness of the Lord. What has been further said on this matter may be seen above (58).

72. Each society, when it appears as one whole is in the form of a man, for the reason that heaven as a whole has that form (as has been shown in the preceding chapter); moreover, in the most perfect form, such as the form of heaven is, there is a likeness of the parts to the whole, and of lesser forms to the greatest. The lesser forms and parts of heaven are the societies of which it consists, which are also heavens in lesser form (Spiritual Diary 5 1-58). This likeness is perpetual because in the heavens the goods of all are from a single love, that is, from a single origin. The single love, which is the origin of the good of all in heaven, is love to the Lord from the Lord. It is from this that the entire heaven in general, each society less generally, and each angel in particular, is a likeness of the Lord, as has been shown above (58).

72. Quod unaquaevis societas sit in effigie hominis cum simul ut unum apparet, est quia totum caelum illam effigiem habet, ut in praecedente articulo ostensum videatur et in perfectissima forma, qualis est forma caeli, similitudo est partium cum toto, et minorum cum maximo minora et partes caeli sunt societates ex quibus consistit, quae quod etiam sint caeli in minore forma, videatur supra (51-58). Quod perpetua talis similitudo sit, est quia in caelis omnium bona ex uno amore sunt, ita ex una origine. Unus amor ex quo origo omnium bonorum ibi, est amor in Dominum a Domino. Inde est, quod totum caelum sit similitudo Ipsius in communi, unaquaevis societas in minus communi, et unusquisque angelus in particulari. Videantur etiam quae supra (58) de hac re dicta sunt.
