I spoke with spirits about the intelligence of angels, that it is so great as to be indescribable and inconceivable. This may be evident from this one proposition, What is the fear of love? The spirits who were present had no idea of this, so it was declared that what the fear of love is, in that single state of which we now speak, in the idea of angels may embrace so many things together that by this large volume only that single idea, and even then not the half of it, could be expressed to the human understanding. 1748, 15 Sept.
