The language of the heavenly angels is different from that of the spiritual. The heavenly hardly let anything spiritual enter, for it at once appears as hard or material. This is done by portrayals. For example, when the human mind is portrayed as being in two parts, understanding and will, and when the understanding is depicted and then the will, then it appears hard to them and they will not allow it to enter, because they have no mental image of it. But when affection is portrayed, then immediately everything hard and material passes away, and they let it enter. And then when it is portrayed that affection is within the understanding so that nothing of intellect shows, and that intellect is the form of affection, so that it becomes will, and thus the spiritual or intellectual mental image of will passes away, then it is understood by them what will is. Likewise, when action is then portrayed as being affection that is within the understanding, then in the will, and from there in action, so that there is nothing but affection-provided this affection constitutes its more inward aspects and thus actually is the first and the following-only then is it understood by them.
