1184. * About angels who enjoy more inward matters, but do not like man to enjoy them

There are good angels, in front a little toward the right, at some distance, who speak in a streaming and pleasant manner. I observed nothing wrong about them except that they thought a person on earth ought not to enjoy more inward matters because they themselves would then lose the enjoyment they had from them. * According to the author's instructions, 1185-89 have been placed after 1183 1/2.
