3630. From this it has become clear to me that all the individual organs and limbs, or motor and sensory organs, correspond to the communities in heaven, just so many as there are distinct and separate heavens. From those heavens, that is, from the Lord by way of them, celestial and spiritual things flow in with man, doing so in fact into forms fitted and suited to them, and so producing the effects seen by man. Yet these effects are not seen by him as other than natural effects, and so are seen by him in an entirely different form and shape. He so sees them that they cannot be recognized to have their origin in heaven.
