223. [226.] 85. I have spoken with angels about the progression of truth to good and the fact that angels feel joy when a younger or older child learns and assimilates truths with affection, thus when truths become a matter of knowledge; that they feel still greater joy when these truths become matters of the intellect, and even more when they become matters of the will; and the greatest joy when they become matters of action. At that point they also love him and the fact that truths have taught him and led him to good; and afterward they rejoice when he recognizes that truths do not lead into good, but that it is good that leads him into truths and so into wisdom. A person is not aware of this, but angels perceive it and rejoice.
