HUMAN INTERNAL
This rare but important term occurs in the phrase “the heaven of human internals.”
It refers to the soul – to the two superior degrees of the mind which are in the order of
heaven, above consciousness, incapable of being modified or changed by man’s own life, and
the Lord’s dwelling place in him.
It is the activities imparted to these degrees by the Lord that, in reception, make the
angelic heavens. For this reason, and because they are in themselves above the consciousness
of the highest angels, they belong to the Lord alone. They form a very heaven which is nearest
to the Lord, and this is what is meant by the heaven of human internals. (See Arcana Coelestia
1999.)
