551. They intensely contemplate the starry heaven, which they call the dwelling of the angels, not knowing anything about the many solar systems. Moreover, they are much wiser than our spirits, of whom they say that they speak much and think little, and are thus unable to grasp many matters more deeply, namely, whether [theirs] is truly heavenly goodness - therefore that they are outward people. But this they only say about spirits in whose company they do not want to be.
