AC 4528, 4530 - the colors of the heavens

The eye, or rather the sight of the eye,
corresponds in particular
to those communities in the next life
which are surrounded by paradisal gardens . . ..
There one can see gardens containing trees and flowers
belonging to genera and species so numerous
that in comparison with them
those found on this entire planet are few.
Each object there
holds a measure of intelligence and wisdom
shining out of it . . ..
Those gardens stir the inner feelings of the people there,
and so gladden not only the eye
but also at the same time the understanding.

These paradisal regions are in the first heaven,
in the very threshold to the interiors of that heaven . . ..

This heaven is distinguished into many heavens . . ..
There is the heaven of paradisal gardens just described.
There is a heaven
where there are atmospheres of various colors,
and where the whole air flashes
as it were with gold, silver, pearls, precious stones,
flowers in least forms, and innumerable other things.
There is a rainbow heaven,
where are the most beautiful rainbows, great and small,
variegated with the most splendid colors.
All these come forth by means of the light
which is from the Lord,
and which contains within it intelligence and wisdom,
so that in every object there
is something of the intelligence of truth
and of the wisdom of good,
which is thus shown representatively.

Colors also are seen in the other life
which in splendor and brilliance
surpass the luster of the colors of this world
to such a degree that scarcely any comparison is possible.
. . . In general the colors seen in the other life
have splendor and whiteness
insofar as they come from the truth of intelligence;
and they have brilliance and crimson
insofar as they come from the good of wisdom.
