66# 须知凡自灵性世界之太阳流淌而出者 —— 雅威上帝居于此太阳核心之中 —— 皆与人之形态相维系；是以灵性世界内一切存有，皆一同趋向人之形式，并于其至内层恒持此一形式。
是以灵性世界中映入眼帘诸般物象，无不是人之表象。世间各类生灵于此尽数显现，此等生灵皆对应天使各样爱之情感，以及由情感生发之思维的相似形相；林间林木、园囿花草、青葱原野亦同此理。我蒙赐恩典，得以辨明每一物象各自表征何种内在情感。
其中玄妙之处在于，当天使至深之内在视觉开启，便能于诸般物象之中识见自身形像。盖因人之本体即是一己之爱，以及由爱而生的思维；人内里诸般情感、衍生之思维纷繁繁复，一部分对应此类生灵之内在性情，另一部分对应彼类生灵之内在性情，是以其内在情感之形相便向外显现。
有关此等事理，于后文论述创造之篇章，将有更为详尽的阐发。
由是亦可显明一则真理：创造之终极旨归，乃是自人类之中成就天使天堂；推究其根本，创造之目标即是人，使上帝得以居于人内，一如安处于专属于祂的接纳器皿之中。正因如此，人方受造为神性秩序的形式。
66# 重要的是要知道，从耶和华神在中间的灵界太阳发出的一切都与人有关；因此，灵界中的一切事物都有朝向人类形式的一种趋势，并在其至内层表现出这种形式；因此，那里出现在眼前的一切物体都是人的代表，或说都代表人。各种各样的动物都出现在灵界，它们是天使的爱之情感和由此产生的思维的样式；那里的树木、花园、绿色田野或草坪和草地也是如此；天使们被允许知道这个或那个物体代表什么样的情感；非常奇妙的是，当他们至内在的视觉被打开时，他们就在这些事物中认出自己的形像；这是因为每个人都是自己的爱和由此而来的自己的思维。由于在每个人里面，情感和由此而来的思维多种多样，其中一些与这种动物有关，一些与另一种动物有关，所以这些情感的形像以这种方式显现。关于这个主题，详情可见于创造那一章（TCR 75-80节）。这些事实也证明了这一真理：创造的目的是来自人类的一个天使天堂；因此，这目的就是人，神能住在人里面，如同住在自己的容器中。这就是人被创造为神序的形式的原因。
66. It is important to know that everything that radiates from the sun around Jehovah God in the spiritual world relates to humanness. Therefore all things that take shape in that world combine to make a human form, and at their deepest level present that form themselves. As a result, all the objects that take shape there before the eyes are symbolic of a human being.
There are animals of every kind in that world. They are likenesses of the feelings of love and the resulting thoughts that angels have. The same goes for the tree gardens, flower gardens, and lawns and meadows there. The angels are also given insights about what feeling this or that object represents. Surprisingly, when their inner sight is opened up they recognize an image of themselves in the things around them. This happens because all people are their own love and their own thought. In everyone there are a variety and multiplicity of feelings and thoughts, some of which relate to the feeling embodied in one animal, and some to the feeling embodied in another. Therefore images of the angels' feelings take shape in that way. There will be more on this topic in the part of this chapter on creation [75-80].
From all this the truth becomes clear that the purpose of creation was [to provide for] an angelic heaven from the human race - humankind as a resting place for God to inhabit. And this is why human beings were created as forms of the divine design.
66. It should be known that all things emanating from the sun of the spiritual world, in the midst of which is Jehovah God, answer to the human form. Consequently whatever comes into existence in that world combines to make a human form, and in its inmost parts exhibits that. Thus all the objects displayed to view there are representative of the human body. All kinds of animals are to be seen there, and these are likenesses of the angels' affections of love and so of their thoughts. Equally to be seen there are woods, flower-gardens and greensward. I have been permitted to know which affection this or that object represents. An extraordinary thing, when their inmost sight is opened, they recognise their own image in them. This is because every person is his own love and so his own thought. So since the affections and thoughts derived from them are varied and complex in the case of each person, some of them answering to the affection indicated by one animal, some to that indicated by another, this is why their affections are made manifest in this way. More will be seen on this subject in the following section on creation [75-80]. These facts also demonstrate this truth, that the end in view in creation was a heaven of angels drawn from the human race; consequently the end was man, in whom God could dwell as in something made to receive Him. This is the cause of man being created to be a form for the Divine order.
66. It must be understood that all things that proceed from the sun of the spiritual world, in the midst of which is Jehovah God, have relation to man; and therefore whatever things come forth in that world conspire towards the human form, and exhibit that form in their inmosts; thus all objects there that are presented to the sight are representative of man. Animals of all kinds are seen there, and they are likenesses of the affections of love and consequent thoughts of the angels; and the same is true of the trees, flowers, and green fields there; and what affection this or that object represents the angels are permitted to know; and what is wonderful, when their inmost sight is opened, they recognize their own image in them; and this takes place because every man is his own love and his own thought therefrom. And because in every man affections and thoughts therefrom are various and manifold, some of them relating to the affection of one animal and some to that of another, the images of these affections become manifest in this way. But of this more will be seen in the section on Creation [n. 78. From all this the truth is seen that the end of creation was an angelic heaven from the human race, and consequently man, in whom God can dwell as in His receptacle; and this is the reason why man was created a form of Divine order.
66. It should be known that all things which proceed from the Sun of the spiritual world, in the midst of which is Jehovah God, declare man, and consequently that all things in that world have a tendency towards the human form and exhibit it in their inmost parts; therefore all objects there which appear to the eye are representatives of man. Animals of all kinds appear in that world, and these are likenesses of the affections of love, and consequently of the thoughts of the angels. There are woods, flower beds and green fields in that world; and it is granted to the angels to know what spiritual quality this or that object represents, and what is very wonderful, when their inmost sight is opened, they recognize in these things an image of something in themselves. This is because every man is his own love and consequently his own thought; and because affections and consequently thoughts with every man are varied and manifold, some of them representing the affection of one animal and others that of another, therefore the likenesses of their affections are thus exhibited; but more concerning this subject will be shown in the subsequent section on Creation. From these considerations the truth is evident that the end of Creation was an angelic heaven from the human race, and consequently man himself, in whom God could dwell as in a recipient of Himself. It is for this reason that man was created a form of Divine order.
66. Sciendum est, quod omnia, quae procedunt ex Sole Mundi spiritualis, in cujus medio est Jehovah Deus, referant hominem, et quod inde quaecumque in illo Mundo existunt, conspirent ad formam humanam, et illam in intimis suis sistant, unde omnia objecta, quae sistuntur oculis ibi, sunt repraesentativa hominis: apparent ibi omnis generis Animalia, et haec sunt Similitudines affectionum amoris et inde cogitationum angelorum; pariter arboreta, floreta et vireta ibi; et datum est scire, quam affectionem hoc et illud objectum repraesentat: et, quod mirabile est, quando illis aperitur visus intimus, cognoscunt suam imaginem in illis; et hoc fit, quia omnis homo est suus amor et inde sua cogitatio; et quia affectiones et inde cogitationes apud unumquemvis hominem sunt variae et multiplices, et aliquae illarum referunt hujus animalis affectionem, et aliquae alterius, ideo sistuntur affectionum illorum imagines ita; sed de his plura videbuntur in Membro sequente de Creatione. Ex his etiam patet veritas, quod finis creationis fuerit Coelum Angelicum ex Humano Genere, consequenter Homo, in quo Deus ut in suo Receptaculo posset habitare: inde est causa, quod homo creatus sit forma Divini Ordinis.
