306. The origin of the earth from the spiritual Sun by means of the atmospheres, cannot be described otherwise by words flowing forth from natural ideas, but can be, by words flowing forth from spiritual ideas. Because such are apart from space, they do not fall into any words of natural language. Spiritual thoughts, speech and writings differ so completely from natural thoughts, speech and writings that they have nothing in common, and that they communicate only by correspondences may be seen above (n. 295). It is sufficient, therefore, that the origin of the earth be perceived naturally in any measure at all.
