By a spiritual mental image I was enabled together with others who were with me to see quite clearly that knowing what harmony and thus happiness in heaven is like contributes nothing to happiness. Rather, it takes it away when knowledge is present. For one who knows nothing at all is still in harmony and from that in happiness, for the Lord works without the angel knowing it, but when he knows, and wishes to enter it knowingly as one who is well instructed, then he does so from self and disturbs the harmony in himself and in those in his society. This was evident in many ways, for then his mental image is bent back to knowing, thus to self, and so he turns away from his companions, consequently from the Lord. Therefore, those who do not know, and yet are [in harmony and happiness], are much better off.
