4411. Every single part of the eye has its own corresponding counterpart in the heavens. This is so, for example, with the three humours, the aqueous, the vitreous, and the crystalline; and not only with the humours but also with the tunics, indeed with every part. The more interior parts of the eye have more beautiful and delightful corresponding counterparts, which however are different in one heaven from in another. When the light which proceeds from the Lord flows into the inmost or third heaven it is received there as good which is called charity. When it flows into the middle or second heaven, directly or indirectly, it is received as truth which is rooted in charity. But when this truth flows into the ultimate or first heaven, indirectly or directly, it is received in objects formed from spiritual substance and is to be seen there as a paradise garden, or in other places as a city containing palaces. This is how those counterparts, rising one above the other, present themselves to angels' external sight. It is similar in man. In his ultimate part, which is his eye, that inflowing truth presents itself in a material form, by means of the sight of the eye, whose objects are those existing in the visible world. When love and charity, and consequently faith, exist in a person, his interiors are like the counterparts described above, for he corresponds to the three heavens and resembles a miniature heaven.
