AC 9613 [3]
The conjunction of the angelic societies into one heaven
has reference to these laws:
1. Everyone in the form of the heavens comes forth in accordance
with the heavenly harmony of many associated together.
2. Love is spiritual conjunction, whence comes heavenly harmony.
3. There must be a universal bond,
in order that all the individuals may be held together in conjunction.
4. The universal bond must flow into the individual bonds,
and must make them.
5. The universal bond is the Lord,
thus love from Him, and consequently love to Him.
6. The individual bonds are derived from this,
and are those of mutual love, or of charity toward the neighbor.
These are the laws by virtue of which heaven,
consisting of innumerable angelic societies,
is nevertheless as one man.
