HH 303, HH 310 - man (homo), angels, correspondences

HH 303
. . . there is a connection
of the natural world with the spiritual world,
and that in consequence
there is a correspondence of all things
in the natural world with all things in the spiritual;
also that there is a connection
and consequently a correspondence
of all things of man with all things of heaven.

HH 310
. . . the Word . . . is despised by some
on account of its simple style;
and that nothing whatever is known about its internal sense,
and for this reason it is not believed
that so much wisdom lies hid in it.
The angels said
that although the style of the Word seems simple
in the sense of the letter,
it is such that nothing can ever be compared to it in excellence,
since Divine wisdom lies concealed
not only in the meaning as a whole but also in each word;
and that in heaven this wisdom shines forth.
. . . this wisdom is the light of heaven,
because it is Divine truth,
for that which shines in heaven is the Divine truth.
. . . without such a Word
there would be no light of heaven with the men of our earth,
nor would there be any conjunction of heaven with them;
for there is conjunction only so far
as the light of heaven is present with man,
and that light is present only so far
as Divine truth is revealed to man by means of the Word.
This conjunction by means of the correspondence
of the spiritual sense of the Word with its natural sense
is unknown to man,
because the man of this earth knows nothing
about the spiritual thought and speech of angels,
and how it differs from the natural thought and speech of men;
and until this is known
it cannot in the least be known what the internal sense is,
. . . if this sense were known to man,
and if man in reading the Word were to think
in accordance with some knowledge of it,
he would come into interior wisdom,
and would be still more conjoined with heaven,
since by this means
he would enter into ideas like the ideas of the angels.
