1474. All celestial angels are not such, however, for there are some whose ideas are not permitted to extend so widely. In order that these may continue in the idea of affection which is the life of everything - for in this way they are regenerated - the other things are later formed therefrom. Thus their spiritual things become celestial, for after this manner they thence derive their origins, and, as it were, their sap, or root, or soul. 1748, Mar. 17.
