150. Enlightenment, which is attributed to the Holy Spirit, is indeed in a man from the Lord, but yet it is effected by mediating spirits and angels. But the nature of that mediation cannot yet be described, only that angels and spirits cannot by any means enlighten man from themselves, because they, like man, are enlightened by the Lord. And because they are enlightened in like manner, it follows that all enlightenment is from the Lord alone. It is effected by mediating angels and spirits because the man who is in enlightenment, is then placed in the midst of such angels and spirits as receive, more than others, enlightenment from the Lord alone.
