to man (n. 3161, 9386, 9393). Man is a man from his will and
his understanding therefrom (n. 8911, 9069, 9071, 10076, 10109,
10110). Moreover, everyone who wills and understands rightly is
loved and valued by others, while he that understands rightly
and does not will rightly is rejected and despised (n. 8911,
10076). Also, after death man remains such as his will and his
understanding therefrom have been, while the things that
pertain to the understanding and not also to the will then
vanish, because they are not in the man (n. 9069, 9071, 9282,
9386, 10153).


27. Because of this difference between the angels of the celestial
kingdom and the angels of the spiritual kingdom they are not
together, and have no interaction with each other. They are able to
communicate only through intermediate angelic societies, which are
called celestial-spiritual. Through these the celestial kingdom flows
into the spiritual;{1} and from this it comes to pass that although
heaven is divided into two kingdoms it nevertheless makes one. The
Lord always provides such intermediate angels through whom there is
communication and conjunction.

{Footnote 1} Between the two kingdoms there is communication
and conjunction by mean's of angelic societies which are called
celestial-spiritual (n. 4047, 6435, 8796, 8802). The influx of
the Lord through the celestial kingdom into the spiritual (n.
3969, 6366).
