3349. About an aura

Angels are not aware that they are in an aura of perception of faith, unless it is granted them by the Lord to realize it; but then they still clearly perceive discordances among others. That they are unaware of it because they are in it, can be made clear from the aura of an odor [see 3333 ff.]-that gardeners do not smell the aura of fragrance of the flowers, as those do who are coming into it. And neither do pharmacists smell the aromatic aura of odors, as those do who enter it. Neither do shoemakers smell the aura in which they are, as those who enter it; and so on. 1748, 26 Sept.
