Human Correspondences
There exist correspondences (isomorphic functions):
- between God as the Source, and a sun,
- between the ‘reception’ of life according to actual form and the consumption of food and drink by living organisms,
- between Wisdom from God and light from the sun.
- between perceiving Wisdom, and perceiving with our eyes,
- and so on.
- (See handout for more examples)
Swedenborg explains in much detail how the Divine, the Heavens, and people on earth all have corresponding ‘human functional forms’. (at least: should have!)
