AC 2927
Bowing is a movement of the body
expressive both of humiliation and of joy . . .
AC 2928
The "people of the land"
are sometimes mentioned in the Word
where it treats of Israel and of Jerusalem,
and by them in the internal sense
is meant the spiritual church,
or those who are of the spiritual church;
for by "Israel" and by "Jerusalem"
this church is meant.
When Judah and Zion are treated of,
the term "nation" is used,
for by "nation" is meant the celestial church;
and this church is meant by "Judah" and by "Zion."
AC 2931 [5]
. . . in the universal sense
the soul is that from which another thing is, and lives;
thus the soul of the body is its spirit,
for from this the body lives;
but the soul of the spirit
is its still more internal life,
from which it has wisdom and understanding.
