2823. About the Fall of angels out of heaven

It was shown once again [see 2597-2600] how the fall of angels out of heaven appears in the eyes of spirits, namely, when they stray into falsities. Lest the society be infected by the falsity [the angel] falls out of heaven. This happens very frequently, but when he has been instructed in the world of spirits, and is consequently in a state of truth, or obedience on the part of his earthly qualities, or acquiescence of earthly qualities in regard to truth, he is received again into the heavenly society.
