359. In the harmony of many, the pleasure and happiness of all is shared with each

It is due to the heavenly pattern that everyone flowing along with that pattern shares their own blessedness with all, and all share theirs with each, so that each one is like a center to all. Therefore, the more there are who make up the Kingdom of God the Messiah, the more the happiness of harmony in the individual groups increases, and it increases according to the levels. From this we can therefore surmise how unutterable the happiness must be, and [how it] must increase! 1747, the 16th day of December.
