3634. The person with whom correspondence exists, that is to say, with whom love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, and consequently faith, exist, is as to his spirit in heaven and as to his body in the world. And since accordingly he acts as one with the angels he is also an image of heaven; and since the influx of all or of the general whole takes place, as has been stated, into every individual person or part, he is also a miniature heaven under human form. For it is good and truth that enable a person to be human, and that mark him off from animals.
