The Beings in the Two Universes Each Being exists in relation to an active substance and a passive substance. In each Universe are 49 creation realms, plus their corresponding 49 active substances and their 49 passive substances. The basic schematic for the Immaterial Universe is as follows: columns: the degrees of creations; these have a relationship to the division of the rows. (means 'relate to') |
| 1 Laws ∼ math. |
2 Bodies ∼ Phys. |
3 Powers ∼ Org. |
4 Spirits ∼ Intell. |
5 Angels ∼ Moral |
6 the Living Beings ∼ Pious |
7 Archangels ∼ social |
