3644. All human beings throughout the whole world have a position either in the Grand Man, that is, in heaven, or outside it in hell. They have that position as to their souls, or what amounts to the same, as to the spirit which will continue to live after death of the body. As long as he is living in the world, no one is actually conscious of being there in heaven or in hell, but all the same he is there and is governed from there. All are in heaven insofar as the good of love and consequently the truth of faith exist in them, and all are in hell insofar as the evil of hatred and consequently falsity exist with them.
