2115. By a very refined spiritual mental image I was enabled to see that many elements are viewed almost at the same time by the angels, and they know at once what harmonious good or truth is present, even if there are countless elements in one image, quite distinct from each other, and forming a harmony they submit to. I was to a certain extent enabled to see those elements that were in simultaneous harmony, causing me to inquire whether this came from more inward regions, thus from the very inward heaven, and consequently from the Lord. Because otherwise, a harmony of so many distinct elements, beyond number, could not exist, much less any selection from them. Someone in heaven corroborated this thought aloud, saying that he himself had just recognized this same fact by a similar spiritual mental image. He said that in bodily life, that kind of image cannot exist, so neither had he acknowledged it. He doubted whether anyone would realize it, even though it is the pure truth. 1748, 29 May.
