Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 112

112. But some may regard this as a matter of superior wisdom, because we have affirmed it in terms of the heavens and angels. Yet the same is the case in relation to people. People are, in the interiors of their mind, warmed and enlightened by that same sun. They are warmed by its warmth and enlightened by its light in the measure that they receive love and wisdom from the Lord. The difference between angels and people is that angels are under the spiritual sun only, while people are not only under that sun but under the sun of the world as well. For the bodies of people must be under both suns to live and survive. Not so the bodies of angels, which are spiritual.
