1474. Still, not all heavenly angels are like this. There are just some whose mental images are not allowed to wander farther than where they remain completely with the idea of affection. Affection is the life of all, for by it they are regenerated. Other qualities develop afterwards. In this way, their spiritual qualities become heavenly, for they originate from heavenly qualities as their sap, or root, or soul. 1748, 17 March.
