206. Since the highest element in sequential order becomes the inmost in concurrent order, and the lowest becomes the outmost, therefore something higher in the Word symbolizes something more interior, and something lower symbolizes something more exterior. An upward direction and a downward direction have the same symbolism, and so, too, do height and depth.
