207. That between one heaven and another there is influx but not communication can be confirmed from their relative positions. The third or inmost heaven is above, the second or middle heaven is below, and the first or outermost heaven is still lower. There is a similar arrangement in all the societies of each heaven, for example, some dwell on elevated places that appear like mountains (n. 188) on the top of which dwell those who are of the inmost heaven. Below these are the societies of the second heaven, below these again the societies of the outermost heaven, and so on throughout, whether in elevated places or not. A society of a higher heaven has no communication with that of a lower heaven except by correspondences (see above n. 100), and communication by correspondences is what is called influx.
