front courts of heaven
[aka Vorhoefe des Himmels] Souls which have undergone the process of purification become blessed and are incorporated into the front courts of heaven. The front courts of heaven constitute a bulwark located below god and designed to protect him. As a result of Schreber's emasculation and the constant stream of rays into his body, the front courts of heaven suffer a permanent loss of blessed souls. |
