d's kingdom is a kingdom of uses.

220. Also in the hells there are governments, for without governments
they could not be kept in restraint; but the governments there are
opposite to the governments in the heavens; they are governments of
the love of self. Everyone there wishes to dictate to others and to
be over others. They hate those that do not favor them, and make them
objects of their vengeance and fury, for such is the nature of the
love of self. Therefore the more malignant are set over them as
governors, and these they obey from fear.{1} But of this below, where
the hells are treated of.

{Footnote 1} There are two kinds of rule, one from love towards
the neighbor the other from love of self (n. 10814). From the
rule that is from love towards the neighbor flow all goods and
all happinesses (n. 10160, 10814). In heaven no one desires to
rule from the love of self, but all desire to minister, which
means to rule from love to the neighbor; this is the source of
their great power (n. 5732). From rule from the love of self
all evils flow in (n. 10038). When the loves of self and the
world had begun to prevail men were compelled to subject
themselves to governments as a means of security (n. 7364,
10160, 10814).

221. XXV. DIVINE WORSHIP IN HEAVEN.

Divine worship in the heavens is not unlike in externals Divine
worship on the earth, but in internals it is different. In the
heavens, as on the earth, there are doctrines, preachings, and church
edifices. In essentials the doctrines there are everywhere the same;
but in the higher heavens they contain more interior wisdom than in
the lower. The preachings are in harmony with the doctrines; and as
they have houses and palaces (n. 183-190), so they have also church
edifices, in which there is preaching. Such things exist in heaven,
because the angels are being perfected continually in wisdom and
love. For they possess, as men do, understanding and will; and both
their understanding and their will are capable of being continually
perfected, the understanding by means of truths of intelligence, and
the will by means of the goods of love.{1}

{Footnote 1} The understanding is receptive of truth, and the
will of good (n. 3623, 6125, 7503, 9300, 9930). As all things
have relation to truth and good, so everything of man's life
has relation to understanding and will (n. 803, 10122). Angels
are perfected to eternity (n. 4803, 6648).
