8030. The angelic heaven to which they are taken away is the first heaven or the lowest of the three heavens. This heaven is seen to the right of their planet and is entirely separate from the first or lowest heaven of angels belonging to our planet. The inhabitants of that heaven appear wearing sky-blue clothing dotted with tiny golden stars, since they believe that this is the truest heavenly colour. When they are in the world and gaze at the starry sky they call it the angels' dwelling-place, which also explains their fondness for the colour sky-blue.
