679. Moreover, there is also a mental imagery in the very inward and the innermost [heaven], but because it is not a mental imagery like the sense impressions of sight, but rather like those of the understanding, therefore, for the sake of distinction the expression mental imagery can be applied to inward [angels], contemplation to very inward ones, but [true] thinking to the innermost. 1748, 7 February.
