1894. About angelic languages
Today I was allowed to investigate the matter of the angelic languages, which are very difficult to understand for people living in their body, and I would hardly suppose that they could be comprehended in a general way by the human grasp or understanding, and they are certainly not expressible. There is a great deal of higher knowledge that the human mind must imbibe before it can grasp even a general idea of them. In order to convey only some idea of them, [let me observe] that in one simple mental image of the human mind, there are countless elements, perceived by the person as a certain very general unit. The inward aspects of that mental image are seen by inward angels, the very inward and innermost aspects by very inward and innermost angels. What appears to inward angels as a general unit, or what appears as a least element of their mental image, unfolds into countless elements, understandable by very inward angels, and then by innermost angels.
