144. This turning to the Lord is among the wonders of heaven. For, many can be together in one place there, some turning the face and body one way and some another, and yet all see the Lord before them, and each one has the south at his right, the north at his left and the west behind him. Another of the wonders is that although the angels' whole aspect is towards the east, they also have a view towards the other three quarters; but their view towards these is from their interior sight which pertains to their thought. Also among the wonders is that in heaven no one is ever permitted to stand behind another and look at the back of his head, for then the influx of good and truth from the Lord would be disturbed.
