[P 206, paragraphs 333 and 334, scored by someone in left margin

by erased pencil or by fingernail] 333. Little Children . . .
TXTSwedHH333; E601|
appear in Heaven . . . in the province of the eyes . . . because
TXTSwedHH333; E601|
the Lord appears to the Angels of his Spiritual Kingdom, fronting
TXTSwedHH333; E601|
the left eye; and to the Angels of the Celestial Kingdom,
TXTSwedHH333; E601|
fronting the right eye; see above, n. 118. Little Children being
TXTSwedHH333; E601|
thus in the province of the eyes, denotes them to be under the
TXTSwedHH333; E601|
immediate guardianship and protection of the Lord.
TXTSwedHH334; E601|
334. How Infants are educated in Heaven shall here briefly be
TXTSwedHH334; E601|
told. They are first taught to speak by those that have the care
TXTSwedHH334; E601|
of them: their first utterance is only a kind of affectionate
TXTSwedHH334; E601|
sound, which, by degrees, grows more distinct, as their minds
TXTSwedHH334; E601|
become furnished with ideas; for
TXTSwedHH334; E602|
the ideas of the mind springing from the affectionate part,
TXTSwedHH334; E602|
immediately give birth and form to the speech of the Angels, as
TXTSwedHH334; E602|
mentioned above, n. 234 to 245. . . .

TXTSwedHH513; E602|
<dag>The angels appointed for instructors are from several
TXTSwedHH513; E602|
societies, but chiefly from such as are in the north and the
TXTSwedHH513; E602|
south, as their understanding and wisdom more particularly
TXTSwedHH513; E602|
consist in the distinct knowledges of good and truth. The places
TXTSwedHH513; E602|
set apart for instructing are towards the north. . . .

[P 389, PARAGRAPH 588] . . . That the Hells are so many and
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
various, appears from it's being given me to know, that under
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
every mountain, hill, rock, plain, and valley, there were
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
particular Hells of different extent in length, breadth, and
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
depth. In a word, both Heaven and the World of Spirits may be
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
considered as convexities, under which are arrangements of those
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
infernal mansions. So much concerning the Plurality of
TXTSwedHH588; E602|
Hells.
