Heaven and Hell (Harley) n. 206

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

206. Such is the form in each heaven, and in accordance with it, the angels have communication and extension of thoughts and affections, thus in accordance with it they have intelligence and wisdom. But the communication of one heaven with another is different, that is, of the third or inmost with the second or middle, and of this with the first or outermost. Yet the communication between the heavens should not be called communication, but influx. About this something will now be said. That there are three heavens and that they are distinct from one another can be seen above in the relevant section (n. 29-40).
