2173. The pleasantness of the flow was due to the fact that they were good spirits, and almost angels, and in fact, of the heavenly kind, and that there was nothing disagreeing or disharmonious in what they were saying, or nothing that disagreed with their thinking. The less disagreement there is in the mental images of one's thinking, and from these in the words or images of one's speech, the more pleasant the speaking is. When there is genuine goodness in them, or the faith of love, then there is also true pleasantness. 1748, 2 June.
