 structure of the universe and of man, whereby there is Correspondence, or influx from the Creator through the universe into man.

A, in this diagram, represents the Creator, who is distinctly above all created substance, and who fills all below Him by influx.

Part I represents the atmospheres, B, C, D, and E, of the spiritual world, the atmospheres, F, G, and H, of the natural world, the Natural Body, I, and the earth, J, in successive order.

Part II indicates the higher part of the human organization, b, c, d, and e; the Natural Mind, f, g, and h; the Spiritual Body, i, and the spiritual earth, j, in successive order.

J is the Natural Earth. Because it is the continuation of the lowest atmosphere, it is placed at the bottom. The Spiritual Earth is placed opposite because it is its spiritual correlative, and is in close Correspondence with it.

I, the Natural Body, is placed above the Natural Earth because it is the earth's substance more highly organized. The Spiritual Body, i, is placed opposite the Natural Body, I, because it is the spiritual correlative and in close Correspondence with it. The Spiritual Body is placed above the Spiritual Earth because it is formed from the Spiritual Earth and its atmospheres
