2162. When anyone is entertaining an angelic spiritual mental image, he or she can clearly feel that no thinking, and nothing of will, comes from him or her, but streams in from another source, even though they suppose it to be from themselves. But one who is not entertaining an angelic spiritual mental image cannot possibly and therefore does not understand this, much less that all good is from the Lord-which the angels plainly see, and feel. Those in the inward heaven see, and are consequently mentally convinced of it, those in the very inward and innermost heaven consciously feel it.
