presentatives in the heavens are; this made clear by various
examples (n. 1521, 1532, 1619-1628, 1807, 1973, 1974, 1977,
1980, 1981, 2299, 2601, 2761, 2762, 3217, 3219, 3220, 3348,
3350, 5198, 9090, 10276). All things seen in the heavens are in
accordance with correspondences and are called representatives
(n. 3213-3226, 3342, 3475, 3485, 9481, 9457, 9576, 9577). All
things that correspond also represent and likewise signify what
they correspond to (n. 2896, 2987, 2989-2991, 3002, 3225).

176. To show what the things are that appear to the angels in
accordance with correspondences, I will here mention one only for the
sake of illustration. By those who are intelligent, gardens and parks
full of trees and flowers of every kind are seen. The trees are
planted in a most beautiful order, combined to form arbors with
arched approaches and encircling walks, all more beautiful than words
can describe. There the intelligent walk, and gather flowers and
weave garlands with which they adorn little children. Moreover, there
are kinds of trees and flowers there that are never seen and cannot
exist on earth. The trees bear fruit that are in accordance with the
good of love, in which the intelligent are. These things are seen by
them because a garden or park and fruit trees and flowers correspond
to intelligence and wisdom.{1} That there are such things in heaven
is known also on the earth, but only to those who are in good, and
who have not extinguished in themselves the light of heaven by means
of natural light and its fallacies; for when such think about heaven
they think and say that there are such things there as ear hath not
heard and eye hath not seen.

{Footnote 1} A "garden" or "park" signifies intelligence and
wisdom (n. 100, 108, 3220). What is meant by "the garden of
Eden" and "the garden of Jehovah" (n. 99, 100, 1588). How
magnificent the things seen in parks are in the other life (n.
1122, 1622, 2296, 4528, 4529). "Trees" signify perceptions and
knowledges, from which wisdom and intelligence are derived (n.
103, 2163, 2682, 2722, 2972, 7692). "Fruits" signify goods of
love and goods of charity (n. 3146, 7690, 9337).

177. XX. THE GARMENTS WITH WHICH ANGELS APPEAR CLOTHED.

Since angels are men, and live among themselves as men do on the
earth, they have garments and dwellings and other such things, with
the difference, however, that as they are in a more perfect state all
things
