680. CONCERNING THE MORE INTERIOR THINGS How the case is with the more interior things in respect to those that are interior appeared also from those things [said above, nos. 677-679]. It was shown me to the sight how ideas, and consequently words, inflowed into the speech of any spirit; this was shown by a white cloud divided into its molecules. At another time it was also shown to spirits and angels how affections, as I suppose, inflowed in like manner, from which it can be evident that similar things inflowed through the more interior heaven, or proximately from the more interior heaven. Thus it can be concluded that there are thousands of things within one apparently simple idea, to which but one word of speech corresponds; thus that there are thousands of things within a single speculation of the more interior heaven, or of the more interior angels, which only appear as simple things to the angels of the interior heaven.
