1. Although the divine spectrum is characterized by Being (essence), one should distinguish between the apparent Being of the Clear Light of the Void, viz. outer light; the qualitative Being of the Unholy Spirit of the Void, viz. outer spirit; the quantitative Being of the Unclear Light of Heaven, viz. inner light; and the essential Being of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, viz. inner spirit.

2. Likewise, while the diabolic spectrum is characterized by Doing (appearance), one should distinguish between the apparent Doing of the Clear Heat of Time, viz. outer heat; the qualitative Doing of the Unholy Soul of Time, viz. outer soul; the quantitative Doing of the Unclear Heat of Hell, viz. inner heat; and the essential Doing of the Holy Soul of Hell, viz. inner soul.

3. Similarly, while the purgatorial spectrum is characterized by Taking (quantitative), one should distinguish between the apparent Taking of the Clear Coldness of Volume, viz. outer coldness; the qualitative Taking of the Unholy Mind of Volume, viz. outer mind; the quantitative Taking of the Unclear Coldness of Purgatory, viz. inner coldness; and the essential Taking of the Holy Mind of Purgatory, viz. inner mind.

4. Finally, while the mundane spectrum is characterized by Giving (qualitative), one should distinguish between the apparent Giving of the Clear Darkness of Mass, viz. outer darkness; the qualitative Giving of the Unholy Will of Mass, viz. outer will; the quantitative Giving of the Unclear Darkness of the World, viz. inner darkness; and the essential Giving of the Holy Will of the World, viz. inner will.

5. Hence we can speak of apparent, qualitative, quantitative, and essential subdivisions within the overall contexts of Being, Doing, Taking, and Giving, viz. Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and the World.
