232. These three degrees with the angels are called Celestial, Spiritual and Natural. And for them the celestial degree is the degree of love, the spiritual degree is the degree of wisdom, and the natural degree is the degree of uses. These degrees are so called because the heavens are distinguished into two kingdoms, one called the celestial and the other the spiritual, to which is added a third kingdom in which are men in the world, and this is the natural kingdom. Also the angels of whom the celestial kingdom consists are in love. The angels of whom the spiritual kingdom consists are in wisdom. But men in the world are in uses. And therefore these kingdoms are conjoined. How it is to be understood that men are in uses will be discussed in the next Part.
