145. The spiritual world has roads appearing in it, paved like roads in the natural world. Some lead to heaven, and some to hell. The roads which lead to hell are not visible, however, to spirits who are going to heaven, nor are the roads which lead to heaven visible to spirits who are going to hell. There are roads like this beyond number, for they go to every society in heaven and to every society in hell. Every spirit enters upon the way which leads to the society where his love is, nor does he see any paths leading elsewhere. It is for this reason that as every spirit turns to his dominant love, he also proceeds toward it.
