6469. I have also been allowed through influx to experience the sweetness of the angels, which is the feeling they gain from thinking and willing not from themselves but from the Lord - a feeling which brings them tranquillity, peace, and happiness. And when the angels flowed into my own feelings I sensed clearly the presence of the Lord, which is a sign of the Lord's life in them. This I have been allowed to know from a considerable amount of experience. In addition there was one occasion when I was thinking about the influx of life from the Lord and was turning over in my mind certain doubts. There flowed in from heaven the idea that no attention should be paid to the thousands of objections and reasonings that are based on false notions.
