The spiritual or middle heaven is a heaven where wisdom rules, and the love of the neighbor, founded on the truths which wisdom teaches, is the law of life; but this heaven also has its affectional and its intellectual side. The natural or lowest heaven, which is the heaven of obedience, consists of those who obey from affection, and those who obey from a sincere and intelligent recognition of the truth. This dis- tinction, which runs through the heavens, is ex- pressed by Swedenborg in the sta...tement that all Heaven is divided into two kingdoms. As the distinction into three heavens is repie- sented in the human body, so is the distinction into two kingdoms. We have a heart, representing in its action and influence the affectional side; and lungs, representing the intellectual side. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, — one on the right side, and the other on the left. The limbs, the ears.
