Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9767

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9767. 'Its pillars four, and the bases of these, four' means the forms of good, and the truths springing from them, which support the linking together. This is clear from the meaning of 'pillars' and 'bases' as the forms of good, and the truths springing from them, which provide support, as above in 9761; and from the meaning of 'four' as a linking or joining together, dealt with in 8877, 9601, 9674.
