4723. CONCERNING CERTAIN REASONERS, HIGH ABOVE THE HEAD. There are other acuter reasoners, above the head, a little forwards - high above the head. When they appear, they speak in a rapid, animated manner; and when they speak they appear to be flying in ashes. Such persons are among the spiritual: they wished to be called angels, because they are not very evil. But they reason very acutely concerning divine things, and in such a way, that they quite believe that, as they conclude, so it is. I talked with them, and they said that they knew how it was with those things which at that time were with them, and not true; and they stated that a thing was so-and-so, when, yet, that was not the truth. But I asked whether they are good: they said they are; that, when they appear flying thus, in ashes, these things are signs that they are good. They said that such was their nature. Thus reasonings seem to fly; and the more acute they are, the sharper and swifter is the flight.
