"physicographē of heaven: physico-; physio- (Gk. φύσις ‘nature’) + graphē (Gk. -γράφος ‘writing or drawing’). The sense of this compound word intended is ‘natural literature of heaven.’ As we have the letters to describe the words to express our thoughts, there are miscellaneous phenomena (in the heaven) that are displayed by numberless visible and invisible celestial bodies. Such phenomena are compared to the letters that we use for writing. Physicographē of heaven is a science in the world of spirit which corresponds to the science of astronomy in our world."
