733# 第七队因光明之故未被其余的人看见；他们来自天堂的东方，是与那位吹号的天使同一群体的天使。
他们在天堂听见，基督教世界中竟没有一个人知道什么是天堂的喜乐、什么是永远的幸福，便彼此说道：“这绝不可能是真的；基督徒的心智不可能有如此大的幽暗和这样的麻木。我们也下去，听听这是否属实；若果真如此，那实在是奇事。”
于是这些天使对那位吹号的天使说：“你知道，凡曾渴望天堂，并对那里喜乐有过某种确定想法的人，死后都会被引入他想象中的喜乐；等他们体验过那些喜乐究竟如何，发现它们不过是照着其心智的虚妄观念、照着其幻想的妄念而形成的，便会被带离其中，并接受教导。
这事发生在灵界的大多数人身上；他们在前世曾默想天堂，并对那里的喜乐作出某种结论，以至于产生对这些喜乐的渴望。”
那位吹号的天使听见这些话后，便对从基督教世界的智慧人中召集而来的六队人说：“跟随我吧；我要把你们引入你们自己的喜乐，也就是你们的天堂。”
733# 其他人因其优越的光线而看不见的第七支队伍来自天堂的东部地区，由拿号筒的天使所属社群的天使们组成。当这些天使在天上听说，基督教界没有一个人知道什么是天堂的喜乐和永恒的幸福时，他们彼此说：“这肯定不是真的；基督徒当中不可能有如此的幽暗和如此的精神麻木。让我们也亲自下去听听这是不是真的；如果这是真的，那确实令人震惊。”然后，他们对拿号筒的天使说：“我们知道，凡渴望天堂，对那里的喜乐形成任何明确观点的人，死后都被引入他们所想象的这些喜乐；他们体验到这些喜乐的真正性质，发现它们是自己想象的虚构和妄想的产物，或是心智的空洞幻想和狂野想象后，就从中被带出来，并在真理上接受教导。在灵人界，这种情况发生在许多在以前的生活中思想天堂，并得出这样的结论，以至于渴望体验它们的人身上。”听到这话，拿号筒的天使对从基督教界的智者中召集来的六支队伍说：“跟我来，我会把你们引入你们的喜乐，从而引入天堂。”
733. The seventh group, which was not seen by the others because the light was in the others' eyes, was from the eastern part of heaven. Its members were angels from the same community as the angel with the trumpet. After hearing that not a single person in the entire Christian world knows what heavenly joy is or what eternal happiness is, they had said to each other, "This cannot possibly be true. Christians could never be that far in the dark or experience that degree of mental collapse. We should go down ourselves and hear if this is true or not; if it does turn out to be true, it is surely an omen of something. "
At this point in the event, these angels said to the angel with the trumpet, "As you know, all people who have had a desire to go to heaven and have formed any particular conception of the joys heaven has in store for them are brought after they die to experience the joys they have been picturing. After they have explored the nature of their joys, and have experienced that their concepts of joy were based on empty ideas and insane fantasies, they are brought up out of those concepts and taught better ones. This is what happens in the world of spirits for most people who have meditated on heaven during their life on earth and who have come to some conclusion about the joys of heaven to the point where they desire to experience them. "
Upon hearing this, the angel with the trumpet said to the six groups of wise people from the Christian world who had been summoned, "Follow me, and I will bring you into your joys and therefore into heaven. "
733. The seventh group, whom the light rendered invisible to the rest, was from the east of heaven. They were angels from the same community as the angel with the trumpet. When the news reached them in heaven that not a single person in Christendom knew what the joy of heaven and everlasting happiness were, they said to one another: 'This cannot possibly be true. There cannot be such thick darkness and mental stupor among Christians. Why do we not go down too and hear whether this is true? If it is, it is certainly a portent.'
Then they said to the angel with the trumpet: 'You know that every person who had longed to go to heaven and had any definite ideas about its joys is after death allowed to experience the joys he imagined; and after they have found out by experience what those joys are like, and realised that they are empty ideas in their minds and ravings of their imaginations, they are taken away from them and taught. This happens to most people in the world of spirits, who in their previous lives had thought deeply about heaven, and come to some conclusion about its joys, so as to desire to experience them.' On hearing this the angel with the trumpet said to the six groups summoned from the wise of the Christian world: 'Follow me, and I shall bring you to experience the joys you imagine, and so into heaven.'
733. The seventh company, which was invisible to the others because of its superior light, was from the eastern quarter of heaven. They were angels of the same society as that to which the angel who had the trumpet belonged. When these heard in heaven that not a single person in the Christian world knew what the joy of heaven and eternal happiness are, they said to each other, "Surely this cannot be true; there cannot be such thick darkness and such mental stupor among Christians; let us go down ourselves also, and hear whether it is true; if it is, it is certainly a wonder."
Then these angels said to the angel with the trumpet, "We know that every man who has desired heaven, and has thought at all definitely about the joys there, is introduced after death into these imagined joys; and after such have experienced the nature of these joys and found them to be according to the empty fancies of the mind and their wild imaginings, they are led out of them and instructed. This takes place with most of those in the world of spirits who in the former life had meditated about heaven, and had formed such conclusions about its joys as to desire them."
On hearing this the angel with the trumpet said to the six companies called together from the wise of the Christian world, "Follow me, and I will introduce you into your joys, and thus into heaven."
733. The seventh company, which was invisible to the rest on account of the light, was from the east of heaven, and consisted of angels of the society from which had come the angel with the trumpet. When they had heard in heaven that not a single person in the Christian world knew what heavenly joy and eternal happiness were, they said to one another: "Surely this cannot be true; there cannot be such gross darkness and mental stupor among Christians. Let us also go down and hear whether it is true; and if it is the truth, it is indeed most astonishing."
Then they said to the angel with the trumpet: "You know that all who had longed for heaven, and had formed any definite opinion concerning its joys, are introduced after death into such joys as they had imagined; and after they have found by experience the real nature of those joys, that they are figments of their own imagination and offspring of their delusion, they are withdrawn from them and instructed in the truth. In the world of spirits this happens to many who, in their former life when thinking of heaven, have come to the conclusion that its joys are such as they have longed for." On hearing this, the angel with the trumpet said to the six companies of wise men called together from the Christian world: "Follow me, and I will introduce you into your joys, and thus into heaven."
733. SEPTIMA COHORS prae luce non reliquis visa, erat ex Oriente Coeli; erant Angeli ex eadem Societate, e qua fuit Angelus tubae: illi cum in Coelo audiverunt, quod ne quidem unus in Christiano Orbe sciat, quid Gaudium Coeli, et Felicitas aeterna, inter se dixerunt, nequaquam hoc veritas est; non potest tanta caligo, et talis stupor mentium Christianis esse; descendamus etiam nos, et audiamus Numeri veritas sit, et si veritas est, sane est prodigium. Tunc Angeli illi dixerunt ad Angelum tubae, nosti quod unusquisque homo, qui desideraverat Coelum, et aliquid certi cogitaverat de gaudiis ibi, post mortem introducatur in imaginationis suae gaudia; et quod postquam experti sunt, qualia illa gaudia sunt, quod sint secundum vanas ideas mentis, et secundum deliria phantasiae illorum, educantur ab illis et instruantur; hoc fit plerisque in Mundo Spirituum, qui in priore vita meditati sunt de Coelo, et concluserunt aliquid de gaudiis ibi usque ad horum desiderium. His auditis, Angelus tubae dixit ad sex Cohortes ex Sapientibus Orbis Christiani convocatas, sequimini me, et introducam vos in Gaudia vestra, ita in Coelum.
