201. It is important to know what the form of heaven is, since not only are all associated in accord with it, but also all communication is in accordance with that form, and in consequence of this communication, all extension of thoughts and affections, thus all the intelligence and wisdom of the angels. From this it follows that so far as anyone is in the form of heaven, that is, so far as he is a form of heaven, to that extent he is wise. It makes no difference whether you say being in the form of heaven or in the order of heaven, since the form of anything is from its order and in accordance with its order.# # The form of heaven is according to Divine order (n. 4040 to 4043, 6607, 9877).
