31. In nos. 6 and 19 above, we said that the Word has in it three levels of meaning, and that the celestial sense is its first level, the spiritual sense its intermediate level, and the natural sense its lowest level. From this a rational person may conclude that the Word’s first level, which is celestial, progresses through its intermediate level, which is spiritual, to its lowest level, which is natural, thus that its lowest level is the foundation. He may conclude as well that its first level, which is celestial, is present in its intermediate level, which is spiritual, and present through this in its lowest level, which is natural; and therefore that its lowest level, which is natural and is the Word’s literal sense, is the containing vessel. And because it is the containing vessel and foundation, that it is also the buttress.
