It is not easy to describe understandably, let alone make clear to a person on earth, what the symbolic mental images of the angels of the inward heaven are like. Nor can a person on earth be aware of them except by the Lord's infinite mercy. What I have been able to watch on several occasions were displays inexpressible in words, which move one's feelings, being portrayals of the feelings by means of angelic or heavenly shapes. For example, something is portrayed in an angelic manner that presents an image or appearance of a heavenly cloud, a shower, or breeze, or light of day. This is done by an image indescribable in words, and there is a feeling that is in or together with the image. Then, as that display increases, decreases, or varies, so likewise the feeling increases, decreases or varies. The feeling is grasped either perceptively, or by understanding, thus either in the heavenly or in the spiritual manner. Such are the displays of the angels of the inward heaven, having within them, so to speak, an unlimited variety of feelings of pleasantness, joy and gladness that move the depths of their mind with joy and delight. I have been allowed on several occasions to take in these feelings, so I can be sure what they are like, and how various. 1748, 4 June. There are even different levels among the varieties, formed by the more vague elements in the symbolic displays, some of which are denser, and some more refined.
