535. Their heaven is separate from ours, both so that they may be with their own people on their earth, and because they believe that the sky blue color dotted with little golden stars is the heavenly color itself; and because they are so convinced of this, they even appear to each other to be sky blue. Nor do they want to be among the spirits of our earth, whom they know from experience to be cunning and deceitful, and who do not acknowledge the one only Lord; on account of their many wrong notions, they avoid their company. Their heaven is as great as that of this earth, and greater, because the inhabitants [of their earth] are more numerous. 1748, the 24th day of January.
