~Emanuel Swedenborg
Still, we can grasp this with our earthly thinking if only we let in a little spiritual light. This requires that I first say something about spiritual concepts and the spiritual thinking that arises from them. Spiritual concepts have nothing to do with space.They have to do solely with
state, state being an attribute of love, life, wisdom, desires, and the delights
they provide—in general, an attribute of what is good and true. A
truly spiritual concept of these realities has nothing in common with
space. It is higher and looks down on spatial concepts the way heaven
looks down on earth.
However, since angels and spirits see with their eyes the way we do
on earth, and since objects can be seen only in space, there does seem to
be space in the spiritual world where angels and spirits are, space like
ours on earth. Still, it is not space but an appearance of space. It is not
fixed and invariant like ours.
