205、在天堂，所有人都照着灵性的亲疏、也就是在他们秩序中的良善和真理的亲疏来联合。整个天堂都是如此，每个社群、家庭也是如此。这就是为何处在相似的良善和真理中的天使彼此相识，如同世上有血缘和婚姻关系的亲戚那样，就好像他们从小就相互认识。就每一位天使而言，构成他们智慧和聪明的良善和真理以同样的方式相联合。他们以同样的方式彼此相识，因为彼此相识，故他们结合在一起。｛注1｝因此，那些真理和良善照着天堂的形态结合起来的天使，便看见一系列的事物接踵而至，还能看到它们如何在周围广泛地凝聚起来；而那些良善和真理没有照着天堂的形态结合起来的天使，情况则不同。
｛注1｝：良善承认自己的真理，真理也承认自己的良善（2429，3101，3102，3161，3179，3180，4358，5704，5835，9637）。良善和真理以这种方式结合（3834，4096，4097，4301，4345，4353，4364，4368，5365，7623-7627，7752-7762，8530，9258，10555）。这一切通过来自天堂的流注实现（9079）。

205. 在天堂, 所有人都照着属灵的关系, 也就是在自己秩序中的良善与真理的关系进行分组. 整个天堂都是如此, 每个社群也是如此, 每个家庭同样如此. 这就是为何处于相似良善与真理的天使如同地上的血亲和姻亲关系那样彼此相识, 好像他们从小就很熟悉. 构成聪明与智慧的良善与真理以同样的方式在每位天使里面被排列. 他们以同样的方式彼此相识; 他们彼此相识, 故联结起来.
因此, 那些真理与良善照着天堂的形式在自己里面如此联结的人, 便看见事物按其顺序接踵而来, 还能看到它们如何在周围广泛连贯起来; 而那些良善与真理并未照着天堂的形式在自己里面联结的人则看不到这一切.
注: 良善认识自己的真理, 真理也认识自己的良善(天国的奥秘 2429, 3101, 3102, 3161, 3179, 3180, 4358, 5704, 5835, 9637节). 良善与真理以这种方式结合(天国的奥秘 3834, 4096, 4097, 4301, 4345, 4353, 4364, 4368, 5365, 7623-7627, 7752-7762, 8530, 9258, 10555节). 这一切通过来自天堂的流注实现(天国的奥秘 9079节).

205. 天國之人都照著心靈上的類同而分組聚集在一起, 心靈上的類同是指善與真的表現類型相同。整個天國的各社群如此, 每個家庭也如此。因為這種關係, 熱衷於相似的善與理的活動者彼此相識, 正如地上的親友彼此相識, 仿佛從小就相識一樣。
構成聰明智慧的善與理的要素, 以同樣地方式在每個天人裡面被整理安排。他們也以同樣的方式彼此相識;既彼此相識, 也就相互聯合。其結果是, 天人心中的良善與真理若照著天國的形態組合, 那麼他看身外廣闊的境界, 也同樣顯得井然有序, 且融為一體。良善與真理未照天國的形態組合者, 情況就不同了。
205. All the people in heaven are grouped according to spiritual affinities, which are matters of what is good and true in their pattern - the same way in the whole heaven as in each community and in each household. This is why angels who are involved in similar good and true activities recognize each other the way relatives and kindred spirits do on earth - just as though they had known each other from infancy.
The good and true elements that make up intelligence and wisdom are similarly arranged within each individual angel. They recognize each other in much the same way, and as they recognize each other, they unite. 1
As a result, people in whom things good and true are united according to heaven's form see things that follow in their sequence and how things fit together far and wide around them. It is different for people in whom things good and true are not united according to heaven's form.

1. What is good recognizes its appropriate truth, and what is true recognizes its good: 2429, 3101-3102, 3161, 3179-3180, 4358, 5407 [5704?], 5835, 9637. This is the source of the union of what is good and what is true: 3834, 4096-4097, 4301, 4345, 4353, 4364, 4368, 5365, 7623-7627, 7752-7762, 8530, 9258, 10555; and this happens because of heaven's inflow: 9079.

205. There is an association of all in heaven in accordance with spiritual affinities, which are those of good and truth in their order. It is so in the whole heaven, in each society and in each house. Because of this, angels who are in like good and truth recognize each other, as relatives by blood and marriage do on the earth, just as if they had known each other from infancy. The goods and truths which, in the case of any one angel, make his wisdom and intelligence, are associated in like manner. They recognize each other in like manner and as they recognize each other they join themselves together. 1In consequence, those in whom truths and goods are joined in accordance with the form of heaven see things following one after another in a series, and see how they cohere round about, far and wide. It is otherwise with those in whom goods and truths are not conjoined in accordance with the form of heaven.

1. Good acknowledges its own truth, and truth its own good (Arcana Coelestia 2429, 3101-3102, 3161, 3179-3180, 4358, 5407, 5835, 9637); and hence is the conjunction of good and truth (Arcana Coelestia 3834, 4096-4097, 4301, 4345, 4353, 4364, 4368, 5365, 7623-7627, 7752-7762, 8530, 9258, 10555); for this is from the influx of heaven (Arcana Coelestia 9079).

205. There is an affiliation of all in heaven in accordance with spiritual relationships, that is, relationships of good and truth in their order. It is so in the whole heaven; so in each society, and so in each house. Because of this angels who are in like good and truth recognize each other, as relatives by blood and marriage do on the earth, precisely as if they had been acquainted from infancy. The good and truth in each angel, which constitute his wisdom and intelligence, are affiliated in like manner; they recognize each other in like manner, and as they recognize each other they join themselves together; 1and in consequence those in whom truths and goods are thus joined in accordance with a form of heaven see things following one another in series, and how they cohere widely round about; but those in whom goods and truths are not conjoined in accordance with the form of heaven do not see this.

205. Consociati sunt omnes in caelo secundum affinitates spirituales, quae sunt boni et veri in suo ordine, ita in toto caelo, ita in unaquavis societate, ac ita in unaquavis domo inde est quod angeli qui in simili bono et vero sunt, se cognoscant ut consanguinei et affines in terris, plane sicut noti ab infantia. Similiter consociata sunt bona et vera, quae faciunt sapientiam et intelligentiam, apud unumquemvis angelum cognoscunt se similiter, et sicut se cognoscunt, ita quoque se conjungunt. 1Quapropter illi, apud quos vera et bona secundum formam caeli conjuncta sunt, vident consequentia in serie, et late circum circa quomodo cohaerent aliter illi, apud quos bona et vera non secundum formam caeli conjuncta sunt.
