105. Each and every member and organ devoted to reproduction in either sex corresponds to heavenly societies. These are distinct from others, just as that province in man is quite distinct from the rest. Those who have most tenderly loved children, as such mothers, are in the province of the uterus and the surrounding organs, that is, the cervix of the uterus and the ovaries. Those who are there lead the sweetest and loveliest lives and are in heavenly joy above others.
