6615. When angels' thought passes down onto lower levels it is seen, as stated immediately above, as a shining white cloud. But when the thought of angels who are in the higher heavens passes down it appears as a fiery light which emits flashes of brilliance. The shining white cloud and the fiery light are nothing else than the countless details contained within their thought. When those details enter the thought of the spirits below them they present themselves there merely as a single unit. The light and brilliance pass into the spirits' thought, and the fieriness into the affection which springs from their love and which leads and draws together their ideas. But the fiery light that was emitted and the flashes of brilliance are not seen by those spirits. They have been made visible to myself however so that I might know that higher things pass into lower ones, and that there are countless details which are perceived as a single unit.
