677. CONCERNING THE MORE INTERIOR THINGS What the more interior things are no man, nor spirit, nor scarcely any angel of the interior heaven as yet knows, for that which is more interior cannot be understood by one who is interior; he supposes that thus he would be dissolved and become as it were nothing, because he places everything in interiors, as a man who lives in corporeal things [places everything in them]. But the difference is as great as that between what is vile and what is precious, or between a cottage and a great town. And what they are unable to perceive, they suppose to be nothing. Nevertheless, what is more interior is ineffable, and is that which no eye hath seen nor ear heard; and from it comes everything harmonic, and everything interiorly and more interiorly delightful in the representations and similar things of the interior heaven. The interior heaven sees only things external or the figures.
