So then, as regards the sun from which angels have their light and warmth, it appears at an elevation above the lands on which the angels dwell, at an altitude of about 45 degrees, which is a middle height. And it also appears as distant from the angels as the sun in the natural world does from people. The spiritual sun appears at that height and distance constantly and does not move. So it is that for angels there are no intervals of time divided into days and years, nor any day's advance from morning through midday to evening and night.

Consequently instead of periods of time they have intervals of state there, as explained above.* * No. 101.
