d's influx is into good and through good
into truth, and not the reverse; thus into the will and through
that into the understanding, and not the reverse (n. 5482,
5649, 6027, 8685, 8701, 10153).

{Footnote 2} The will of man is the very being [esse] of his
life, and the receptacle of the good of love, while his
understanding is the outgo [existere] of his life therefrom,
and the receptacle of the truth and good of faith (n. 3619,
5002, 9282). Thus the will's life is the chief life of man, and
the life of the understanding goes forth therefrom (n. 585,
590, 3619, 7342, 8885, 9282, 10076, 10109, 10110). Whatever is
received by the will comes to be the life, and is appropriated
to man (n. 3161, 9386, 9393). Man is a man from his will and
his understanding therefrom (n. 8911, 9069, 9071, 10076, 10109,
10110). Moreover, everyone who wills and understands rightly is
loved and valued by others, while he that understands rightly
and does not will rightly is rejected and despised (n. 8911,
10076). Also, after death man remains such as his will and his
understanding therefrom have been, while the things that
pertain to the understanding and not also to the will then
vanish, because they are not in the man (n. 9069, 9071, 9282,
9386, 10153).

27. Because of this difference between the angels of the celestial
kingdom and the angels of the spiritual kingdom they are not
together, and have no interaction with each other. They are able to
communicate only through intermediate angelic societies, which are
called celestial-spiritual. Through these the celestial kingdom flows
into the spiritual;{1} and from this it comes to pass that although
heaven is divided into two kingdoms it nevertheless makes one. The
Lord always provides such intermediate angels through whom there is
communication and conjunction.

{Footnote 1} Between the two kingdoms there is communication
and conjunction by mean's of angelic societies which are called
celestial-spiritual (n. 4047, 6435, 8796, 8802). The influx of
the Lord through the celestial kingdom into the spiritual (n.
3969, 6366).

28. As the angels of these two kingdoms will be fully treated of in
what follows, particulars are here omitted.

29. V. THERE ARE THREE HEAVENS.

There are three heavens, entirely distinct from each other, an inmost
or third, a middle or second, and an outmost or first. These have a
like order and relation
