in accordance with this form that whatever a man wills passes<br />

spontaneously into act, <strong>and</strong> whatever he thinks spreads<br />

through the fibers from their beginnings even to their<br />

terminations, which is the source of sensations; <strong>and</strong> inasmuch<br />

as it is the form of thought <strong>and</strong> will, it is the form of<br />

intelligence <strong>and</strong> wisdom. Such is the form that corresponds to<br />

the form of heaven. And from this it can be known that such is<br />

the form in accordance with which every affection <strong>and</strong> thought<br />

of angels extends itself, <strong>and</strong> that so far as the angels are in that<br />

form they are in intelligence <strong>and</strong> wisdom. That this form of<br />

heaven is from the Divine human of the Lord can be seen<br />

above (n. 78–86). All this has been said to make clear also that<br />

the heavenly form is such that even as to its generals it can<br />

never be completely known, thus that it is incomprehensible<br />

even to the angels, as has been said above.
