4323. At the ends of previous chapters I have begun to show that every single part of the human being corresponds to heaven. I have done so from actual experience from the world of spirits and from heaven, to the end that people may know the source from which they receive their being and from which they are kept in being, and that there is constant flow from that source into them. Later on it will be shown, likewise from experience, that although a person rejects the influx from heaven - that is, from the Lord by way of heaven - and accepts that from hell, the Lord nevertheless maintains constantly that person's correspondence with heaven, so that if he chooses he can be led from hell to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord.
