Swedenborg, in his description of the people of Jupiter,
while according them high spirituality and intelligence,
states that
they

effect would undoubtedly vary on different planets,
according to their nearness and function.
Will this lost star be relit in the material heavens ?
We judge not. The solar system has established a new
equilibrium, but it leaves us impoverished in the vitalizing

but in the case of the earth, the lungs
losing their measure of the solar fluid, expanded more
fully into the natural atmosphere. Man came to realize
"that he was naked"; he was no longer clothed
upon by the heavens ;
