For, the more their interiors are open towards the Lord, the more interior is the heaven in which they are. There are three degrees of the interiors with each angel as well as with each spirit, and also with man. Those with whom the third degree has been opened are in the inmost heaven. Those with whom the second degree has been opened, or only the first, are in the middle or in the outermost heaven. The interiors are opened by the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth.
