186. Concerning correspondences I have also been told that not only the palaces and houses, but all things and each thing, both inside and outside them, correspond to the interior things that the angels have from the Lord, the house itself in general corresponding to their good, the particular things inside a house to the various things of which their good consists,# and the things outside houses to truths derived from good and also to perceptions and cognitions. Also because these things correspond to the goods and truths that they have from the Lord, they correspond to their love, and to their wisdom and intelligence from love, since love is of good, wisdom of good and truth together, and intelligence of truth from good. Such are the things the angels perceive when they look at these objects, and thus it is that these delight and affect their minds more than their eyes. # "Houses" and the things which they contain signify those things in man which belong to his mind, that is, to his interiors (n. 710, 2233, 2234, 2719, 3128, 3538, 4973, 5023, 6619, 6690, 7353, 7848, 7910, 7929, 9150); consequently which relate to good and truth (n. 2233, 2234, 2559, 4982, 7848, 7929). "Inner rooms" and "bed-chambers" signify interior things (n. 3900, 5694, 7353). "The roof of a house" signifies what is inmost (n. 3652, 10184). "A house of wood" signifies the things pertaining to good, and "a house of stone" the things pertaining to truth (n. 3720).
