I have said that there are three heavens, specifically an inward one, a very inward one and an innermost, each at their own distinct level [1828]. What these levels or degrees are may be seen elsewhere [5547-51]. These, however, are the general levels, and in each heaven also there are levels of happiness-likewise three, I presume, but not interrelated, of course, in the same way as the levels of the heavens in general. We may assume that there are three because of the levels in the human body. Under the heading of bodily or bodily senses come touch, taste and smell. These differ in purity,* yet all three still belong to the bodily kingdom, being distinguished from each other by different qualities, as anyone may know who rightly weighs the matter. So much for the bodily aspects, or appetites. As for spiritual aspects of the body or senses, these are also three in number, namely, the hearing, the eyesight, and imaginative sight. These lie at different levels, yet still come under the heading of earthly senses. The hearing is a merely bodily sense, while sight is an earthly one, and these [three] interrelate in the same way as the senses of touch, taste and smell. For the outside relates to the inside, but does not come inside except by dissolving. Its inward parts are what compose a thing. Consequently, they interrelate as composite to components.** 1748, 4 June. * Perhaps meaning refinement of function.-Tr. ** In the margin of this and the previous paragraph is the notation "The heavens interrelate with the senses of the body."
