Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 126

126. That their varying reception of love and wisdom determines what zone angels are in the spiritual world can be seen from the fact that an angel changes zones according to the increase or decrease of love in him. This in turn makes it clear that the zone is not determined by the Lord as the sun, but by the angel in accordance with his reception. The case is the same with a person in respect to his spirit. In respect to his spirit he is in this or that zone in the spiritual world, no matter what region he is in in the natural world. For as we said above, the zones in the spiritual world have nothing in common with zones in the natural world. A person resides in the latter in respect to his body, but in the first in respect to his spirit.
