177. It has been said above and also shown in the work HEAVEN AND HELL, that in the spiritual world there are also waters as well as earths, with the difference that the waters and earths of the spiritual world are spiritual. And because they are spiritual, they are actuated and modified by the heat and light of the spiritual Sun by means of the atmospheres from it, just as waters and earths in the natural world are, by the heat and light of the sun of their world by means of its atmospheres.
