130. Angels turn their faces continually towards the Lord as a Sun, because they are in the Lord and the Lord in them, and the Lord interiorly leads their thoughts and affections and continually turns these to Himself. Hence they cannot but look towards the east where the Lord appears as a Sun. From this it is clear that the angels do not turn themselves to the Lord, but the Lord turns them to Himself. For when angels think interiorly about the Lord, then they only think of Him as in themselves. Interior thought itself does not cause distance but exterior thought does, which acts as one with the sight of the eyes. The reason is that exterior thought is in space, but interior thought is not. And when it is not in space, as in the spiritual world, it is still in the appearance of space. But these things can be little understood by a man who thinks about God from space. For God is everywhere and yet not in space. Thus He is both within an angel and outside him. Consequently an angel can see God, that is, the Lord, both within and outside himself, within himself when he thinks from love and wisdom, outside himself when he thinks about love and wisdom. But these things will be treated of in detail in treatises on The Lord's Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence. Let every man beware lest he fall into that abhorrent heresy that God has infused Himself into men, and that He is in them and no longer in Himself, when yet God is everywhere both within and outside man; for He is in all space apart from space (as has been shown above, n. 7-10, 69-72). For if He were in man, He would be not only divisible, but He would be also enclosed in space; indeed, man then could even think himself to be God. So abominable is this heresy, that in the spiritual world it stinks like a dead body.
