279. Why the heavenly field, vortices and habitations correspond to the parts of a human being

The reason why the parts of a human being interact with the heavens and its habitations, and lower things are felt under the feet - and in fact as coldness, according to the experiences adduced previously [271] - is that God the Messiah, as Human, fills the universe, so that the things in the universe interact with Him. Therefore Heaven is God the Messiah Himself, because He is all in all things, and thus the heavenly field, vortices and habitations correspond to Him and His parts. 1747, the 29th day of November. Otherwise, Heaven and the universe could not go on.
