6431. 'The blessings of the deep lying beneath' means with factual knowledge which belongs in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed with blessings' as being endowed with the kinds of things that derive from the spiritual world; and from the meaning of 'the deep lying beneath' as factual knowledge in the natural. The natural is called 'the deep lying beneath' when considered in relation to the interiors constituting the heaven spoken of above in 6430. And since the natural is meant by 'the deep lying beneath', so too is factual knowledge meant, for factual knowledge and its delights belong in the natural and compose its life. This is especially true of the spiritual man, for he is led through factual knowledge to truths, and through truths to good. From all this it is evident that 'being blessed with the blessings of the deep lying beneath' means being endowed in the natural with factual knowledge and so with truths. Factual knowledge that holds truths in it and that belongs in the natural is also meant by 'the deep' in the blessing of Joseph recorded in Moses,

Blessed by Jehovah is his land, in regard to the precious things of heaven, to the dew, to the deep also lying beneath. Deuteronomy 33:13.

2493. I have spoken to angels about the memory of things of the past and about consequent anxiety concerning things of the future, and I have been informed that the more interior and perfect angels are the less do they care about things of the past or think about those of the future, and that this is also the origin of their happiness. They have said that the Lord provides them every moment with what to think, accompanied by blessing and happiness, and that this being so they have no cares and no worries. This also is what is meant in the internal sense by the manna being received 'day by day' from heaven, and by the 'daily [provision] of bread' in the Lord's Prayer, as well as by the statement that they must not worry about what they are to eat and drink, or what clothes they are to put on. But although angels have no care about things of the past and are not worried about those of the future they nevertheless have a most perfect recollection of things of the past and a most perfect insight into those of the future, because their entire present includes both the past and future within it. Thus they possess a more perfect memory than can possibly be imagined or put into words.
