309. CONCERNING THE PERCEPTION OF ANGELS, AND ALSO OF SOULS IN THE OTHER LIFE Such is the perception, or cognition through perception, of those in the habitations of the more interior heaven, that when a soul or angel of another genus, or even of another species [approaches], in a wonderful manner they either feel aversion, or are affected by the agreement. In this way those who are carried around in the more interior heaven are admitted, and when they have passed through the changes of many states, it is then known more and more clearly, by a wonderful perception, whether, and in what manner, there is any dissent: thus they are either held somewhat apart, or are associated somewhere else where the dissent is not so perceptible. Thus a heavenly form of that species is made in that genus, and so is continually being perfected, even to such perfection that nothing more perfect can be conceived. 1747, Dec. 6.
