AC 9499 - Ultimates and Boundaries

. . . the ultimates and boundaries in heaven
differ from those in the world in this respect,
that in the world they are such relatively to spaces,
but in heaven relatively to goods conjoined with truths.
The Divine good conjoined with the Divine truth,
which is the ultimate of heaven,
and by which it is
bounded, enclosed, and held together,
is comparatively as is the atmosphere in the world,
which flows around a person and holds together
all the surface of his body in its connection,
so as to prevent its dissolution;
but in the world that which does this is natural,
and operates on the human body
as on what is material;
whereas in heaven
it is the Divine celestial and the Divine spiritual
from the Lord which operates around an angel,
and holds him together in his form and power.

AC 9503 - The Lord In Heaven

That Divine truth is the Lord in heaven,
is because the Lord is good itself and truth itself,
both of which proceed from Him,
and that which proceeds from Him is Himself.
So it is that the Lord is heaven;
for the Divine truth which is from Him
and is received by the angels, makes heaven;
consequently the more perfectly the angels receive
the Divine truth which is from the Lord,
thus the more perfectly they receive the Lord,
the more perfect human forms they are,
and finally so perfect
that their beauty surpasses belief.
He who shall see, as I have, will be amazed;
for they are heavenly loves and charities in form,
which form is the truly human form.
The reason why the angels are human forms,
is that the Divine in heaven is the Lord,
and those who receive from Him
the Divine truth in good
are images of Him.
