3349. CONCERNING SPHERES. Angels are not aware that they are in the sphere of perception of faith, unless the Lord grants them to perceive it. But yet they plainly perceive disagreements amongst others. That they are not aware [thereof] because they are in it, may also be evident from the sphere of odor; that gardeners do not perceive the sphere of odor of flowers, like those who come thither; nor do apothecaries thus perceive the aromatic sphere of odors, as they [do] who enter; nor shoemakers the sphere in which they are, like those who enter and so forth. - 1748, September 26.
