333. [verse 13] 'And the stars of heaven fell to earth' signifies all the cognitions of good and truth detached (disparatus). That 'stars' signify cognitions of good and truth may be seen above (n. 51). That 'to fall out of heaven to earth' is to be detached, is plain. In the spiritual world [in regions] where cognitions of good and truth are perishing, the stars also appear to fall out of heaven to earth there.
