606. Continuation about glorification

The angels look upon everything pertaining to the realm of spirits as beneath them, nor do they have any communication, except when it is granted by the Lord that they may look upon them and observe the nature of the spirits and things there. I have been shown by actual experience how this takes place. Still, they can control nothing, as I have also been shown, for they cannot influence them on their own, but the influence is controlled in an imperceptible manner by the Lord.
