APPEARANCE.—­Spaces in the spiritual world are appearances; distances, also, and presences are appearances, 158.  The appearances of distances and presences there, are according to the proximities, relationships, and affinities of love, 158.  Those things which, from their origin, are celestial and spiritual, are not in space, but in the appearances of space, 158.

Obs.—­Those things which in the spiritual world are present to the sight of spirits and angels are called appearances; those things are called appearances, because, corresponding to the interiors of spirits and of angels, they vary according to the states of those interiors.  There are real appearances and appearances unreal; the unreal appearances are those which do not correspond to the interiors.  See Heaven and Hell.
