1200. It was also given me to think whether any who are born at this day can be introduced into the inmost heaven, because hereditary evils have been so multiplied. I seemed to have had a response in my thought that those who are born on the earth at this day cannot come into the inmost heaven, but that those from this earth who were of the Most Ancient Church were admitted, as well as those from other earths, for they are innocences. In the more interior heaven and in the interior heaven there are also innocences but not of the same quality. These former innocences constitute as it were their inmost, but it should be called their center, as an axis or nucleus; nor can any heaven subsist unless its center its inmost, as it were is innocence, and the rest are regarded as peripheries into which innocence streams from the center, for no one can be in heaven unless he has something of innocence. Further, the inmost heaven also communicates with the more interior through its center, that is to say, through innocences; and thus the inmost through the more interior communicates with the interior. Hence it can be understood what is the nature of the communication from inmosts and from the Lord, according to the order instituted by Him.
