127、天堂的光不像尘世之光那样是属世之光，而是属灵之光，因为它来自显为太阳的主，这太阳是神性之爱（如前文所述）。在天堂，从显为太阳的主所发出的被称为神性真理，尽管它本质上是与神性真理合一的神性良善。由此，天使拥有光和热：光来自神性真理，热来自神性良善。由于天堂的光和热来自这样的源头，很显然，它们是属灵的而非属世的。｛注1｝
｛注1｝：天堂里的一切光都来自显为太阳的主（1053，1521，3195，3341，3636，3643，4415，9548，9684，10809）。从主发出的神性真理在天堂显为光，提供天堂里所有的光（3195，3223，5400，8644，9399，9548，9684）。

127. 天堂之光不像尘世之光那样是属世之光, 而是属灵之光, 因为它来自显为一轮太阳的主, 这太阳是神性之爱, 如前一章所述. 从显为一轮太阳的主发出之物在天堂被称为神性真理, 尽管它本质上是与神性真理结合的神性良善. 天使由此拥有光和热, 光来自神性真理, 热来自神性良善. 故由此可以证实, 来自这样一个源头的天堂之光是属灵的, 而非属世的, 热也一样.
注: 在天堂, 一切光都来自显为太阳的主(天国的奥秘 1053, 1521, 3195, 3341, 3636, 3643, 4415, 9548, 9684, 10809节). 从主发出的神性真理在天堂显为光, 并提供一切天堂之光(天国的奥秘 3195, 3222, 3223, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684节).

127. 天國中的光是心靈之光, 而世間之光是物質之光。事實上, 天國之光出自於顯為太陽的主。上一章已經解釋, 天國的太陽的乃是聖仁。由此太陽放射出來的光在天國被稱為"神性之理"(或"聖理"), 其本質乃是與聖理合一的聖善。這就是供給天人的光與熱的來源:他們從聖理獲取光, 從聖善獲取善。
由此可見, 就其源頭而言, 天國之光不是物質的, 而是心靈的, 天國之熱同樣如此。
127. Heaven's light is not natural like the light of our world, but spiritual. It actually comes from the Lord as the sun, and that sun, as explained in the preceding chapter, is divine love. While what emanates from the Lord as the sun is called divine truth in the heavens, in essence it is divine good as one with divine truth. This is the source of light and warmth for angels: they get their light from the divine truth and their warmth from the divine good.
We can therefore conclude that heaven's light, in view of the nature of its source, is spiritual and not natural, as is its warmth. 1

1. All the light in the heavens is from the Lord as the sun: 1053, 1521, 3195, 3341, 3636, 3643, 4415, 9548, 9684, 10809. Divine truth emanating from the Lord appears in heaven as light, and constitutes all the light of heaven: 3195, 3222 [3223?], 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684.

127. The light of heaven is not a natural light like that of the world, but a spiritual light because it is from the Lord as a Sun, and that Sun is the Divine Love, as shown in the previous section. That which goes forth from the Lord as a Sun is called in the heavens Divine Truth although in essence it is Divine Good united to Divine Truth. From this the angels have light and heat, light from Divine Truth, and heat from Divine Good. So, it can be confirmed from this that the light of heaven from such a source is spiritual and not natural, likewise the heat. 1

The Divine truth going forth from the Lord appears in heaven as light, and supplies all the light of heaven (Arcana Coelestia 3195, 3222-3223, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684).

127. The light of heaven is not a natural light, like the light of the world, but a spiritual light, because it is from the Lord as a sun, and that sun is the Divine love (as has been shown in the foregoing chapter). That which goes forth from the Lord as a sun is called in the heavens Divine truth, but in its essence it is Divine good united to Divine truth. From this the angels have light and heat, light from Divine truth, and heat from Divine good. As the light of heaven, and the heat also, are from such a source, it is evident that they are spiritual and not natural. 1

127. Lux caeli non est naturalis sicut lux mundi, sed est spiritualis, est enim a Domino ut Sole, et Sol est Divinus Amor, ut in praecedente articulo ostensum est. Quod procedit a Domino ut Sole, in caelis vocatur Divinum verum, est tamen in essentia sua Divinum Bonum unitum Divino Vero inde angelis lux et calor; ex Divino Vero est angelis lux, et ex Divino Bono est illis calor. Inde constare potest, quod lux caeli, quia ex tali origine, sit spiritualis et non naturalis, similiter calor. 1
