2983. Further, there is an outward, bodily realm, or one pertaining to the senses of the body, into which I was also let. But the various kinds of realms are not perceptible, and because there are perpetual instabilities and imbalances in the bodily realm, it cannot be so well understood, for it is those realms by which mankind is ruled by the Lord - but through the inward realms.

But the varieties of spheres are not perceptible: and inasmuch as there are perpetual inconstancies and inequalities in the corporeal sphere, it also cannot, for that reason, be understood: for these are the spheres, whereby man is ruled by the Lord; but through interior spheres.
