AE 629a - "breadth", "length", "height"

AE 629a [4]
As those in heaven who dwell from south to north are in the truths of doctrine, so "breadth" signifies the truth of heaven or the church; and as those who dwell in heaven from east to west are in the good of love, so "length" signifies the good of heaven or of the church; and as those who dwell in the third heaven, who are the most wise, are in things highest, while those who dwell in the first heaven, who are relatively simple, are in things lowest, so "height" signifies wisdom and intelligence in their degrees.
