4414. The variations of light in heaven are as many as the angelic communities which constitute heaven; indeed they are as many as the angels within each community. The reason why is that heaven is arranged into order conforming with all the variations there are of good and truth, and so conforming with all the states there are of intelligence and wisdom, and consequently with the ways that light from the Lord is received. This is the reason why in the whole of heaven the light is nowhere entirely the same but varies according to the different ways in which red and white enter into the composition of it, and according to degrees of intensity. For intelligence and wisdom are nothing other than the higher kind of modification of heavenly light which radiates from the Lord.
