100. But correspondence extends far more widely than to man. For there is a correspondence of the heavens with one another. To the third or inmost heaven the second or middle heaven corresponds, and to the second or middle heaven the first or outermost heaven corresponds, and this corresponds to the bodily forms in man called his members, organs and viscera. Thus it is the bodily part of man in which heaven finally terminates, and upon which it stands firm upon its base. But this arcanum will be fully unfolded elsewhere.
