{Footnote 1} Every good has its delight as well as its quality from use and in accordance with use; therefore such as the use is, such is the good (n. 3049, 4984, 7038).  Angelic life consists in the goods of love and charity, that is, in performing uses (n. 454).  The Lord, and consequently the angels, look only, in regard to man, to ends, which are uses (n. 1317, 1645, 5854).  The Lord’s kingdom is a kingdom of uses that is, of ends (n. 454, 696, 1103, 3645, 4054, 7038).  Serving the Lord is performing uses (n. 7038).  Each thing and all things in man have been formed for use (n. 3626, 4104, 5189 9297; also from use, that is, the use is prior to the organic forms in man through which the use is performed, because use is from the inflowing of the Lord through heaven (n. 4223, 4926).  Moreover man’s interiors, which constitute his mind, when he grows to maturity are formed from use and for use (n. 1964, 6815, 9297).  Consequently man is such as are the uses with him (n. 1568, 3570, 4054, 6571, 6935, 6938, 10284).  Uses are the ends for the sake of which (n. 3565, 4054, 4104, 6815).  Use is the first and the last, thus the all of man (n. 1964).

113.  As all things that are in accord with Divine order correspond to heaven, so all things contrary to Divine order correspond to hell.  All things that correspond to heaven have relation to good and truth; but those that correspond to hell have relation to evil and falsity.

114.  Something shall now be said about the knowledge of correspondences and its use.  It has been said above that the spiritual world, which is heaven, is conjoined with the natural world by means of correspondences; therefore by means of correspondences communication with heaven is granted to man.  For the angels of heaven do not think from natural things, as man does; but when man has acquired a knowledge of correspondences he is able, in respect to the thoughts of his mind, to be associated with the angels, and thus in respect to his spiritual or internal man to be conjoined with them.  That there might be such a conjunction of heaven with man the Word was written wholly by correspondences, each thing and all things in it being correspondent.{1} If man, therefore, had a knowledge of correspondences he would understand the spiritual sense of the Word, and from that it would be given him to know arcana of which he sees nothing in the sense of the letter.  For there is a literal sense and there is a spiritual sense in the Word, the literal sense made up of such things as are in the world, and the spiritual sense of such things as are in heaven.  And such a Word, in which everything down to the least jot is a correspondence, was given to men because the conjunction of heaven with the world is effected by means of correspondences.{2}

  {Footnote 1} The Word was written wholly by correspondences (n.
  8615).  By means, of the Word man has conjunction with heaven
