also divided into two chambers as it were, as the full-grown brain is into two hemispheres; and it was told me, that the right chamber was the receptacle of love, and the left, the receptacle of wisdom, and that by wonderful interweavings they were as it were consorts and companions. Moreover it was shown in the light of heaven, which shone upon it, that internally, the compages of this little brain, as regarded its situation and fluxion, was in the order and form of heaven, and that its exterior compages was in opposition to that order and form. After these things were shown and seen, the angels said, that the two interior degrees, which were in the order and form of heaven, were receptacles of love and wisdom from the Lord; and that the exterior degree, which was in opposition to the order and form of heaven, was the receptacle of infernal love and insanity; because man by hereditary degeneracy is born into evils of all kinds, and these evils reside in the extremities there; and this degeneracy is not removed, unless the superior degrees are opened, which, as was said, are the receptacles of love and wisdom from the Lord. And as love and wisdom is very man, for love and wisdom in its essence is the Lord, and as this primitive of a man is a receptacle, it follows that in the primitive there is a continual effort to the human form, which also it successively

according to discrete degrees, 214. The affec-
tions which pertain to love appear in a cer-
tain image in the face, and the thoughts which
belong to wisdom appear in a certain light in
the eyes, 365. The affections are substances,
and real and actual forms, not abstractions
without substance or form, 42, 224, 316;
they do not exist out of subjects, but they are
the states of subjects, 209, 224, 291. All

trinsic to the understanding, relate not to the

world; they are similar, but the former are
spiritual, and the latter natural, 173, 178.
Both are discrete substances, or most minute
forms, 174. Difference between spiritual and
natural atmospheres, 175. The atmospheres
in both worlds, in their ultimates, terminate

tures proceeding by fibres from their principles,
which are receptacles of love and wisdom,
