131、由于天堂之光是神性真理，故那光也是神性智慧和聪明。所以，被提升到天堂之光中，就意味着同样地被提升到聪明和智慧中，并被启迪。因为这个原因，天使拥有光的程度和他们拥有聪明和智慧的程度一样。因为天堂之光是神性智慧，在这光中每个人的性格都能被认识。每个人的内在都如实地赤露敞开在脸上，一点也不隐瞒。内在的天使喜欢把所有与他们有关的一切都敞开着，因为他们只意愿良善。天堂之下的人则不然，他们不意愿良善，因此非常害怕在天堂之光中被看见。说来神奇，地狱里的人彼此看为人样，但在天堂之光中却看似怪物，面目形体狰狞恐怖，正是他们自身邪恶的确切形式。｛注1｝就世人的灵而言，当他被天使察看时，以同样的方式显现：若为良善、显为人，照着他的良善而美丽；若为邪恶、显为怪物，照着他的邪恶而丑陋。由此可见，在天堂之光中，一切事物都是显明的，因为天堂之光就是神性真理。
｛注1｝：那些在地狱里的人，在他们自己的犹如燃煤发出的光中，在他们自己看来是人，但在天堂的光中，他们看起来像怪物（4531，4533，4674，5057，5058，6605，6626）。

131. 天堂之光因是神性真理, 故也是神性智慧和聪明. 所以, 被提升至天堂之光就意味着被提升至聪明和智慧, 并得到启示. 因此, 天使照着他们拥有聪明和智慧的程度而拥有光. 由于天堂之光就是神性智慧, 故每个人的本性都能在这光中被认识. 每个人的内在性质都从他的脸上如实闪耀出来, 没有丝毫隐藏. 内在天使喜欢将他们里面的一切事物都摊开, 因为他们只意愿良善. 那些在天堂之下的人则不然, 他们不意愿良善, 因此非常害怕在天堂之光中被看到. 说来神奇, 地狱里的人向彼此显为人, 但在天堂之光中却看似怪物, 面目狰狞, 形体可怖, 正是他们自己邪恶的样式. 当天使看人时, 就其灵而言, 他也具有类似表象; 若为良善, 就照其良善而显为优美的人; 若为邪恶, 就照其邪恶而显为丑陋的人. 由此清楚可知, 在天堂之光中, 一切事物都变得显而易见, 因为天堂之光就是神性真理.
注: 地狱里的人在自己那如燃煤之光的光中看上去像人; 但在天堂之光中看上去却像怪物(天国的奥秘 4531, 4533, 4674, 5057, 5058, 6605, 6626节).

131. 既然天國之光神性之真理, 那麼也是神性的智慧和聰明。因此,"提入天國之光"所表示的與"提入聰明和智慧"以及"被光照"是同一個意思。因此, 天人之中的光與他們擁有的聰明聰慧相匹配。
天國之光既是神性的智慧, 在那光中, 人自然會顯出他的本相。每個人的內在秉性從他臉上如實表現出來, 無可隱藏。再者, 思想越內在的天人越喜愛敞開自己, 因為他們起心動念無不為善。天國之下那些並非向善者就不同了, 他們極度恐懼在此天國之光中被看見。啟得一提的是, 地獄之人彼此看來皆為人樣, 但在天國之光照下形同怪物, 面目猙獰, 形體可怖, 正好反映他們邪惡的樣式。
當天人注視我們時, 我們也顯出靈魂的本相。若為善, 就顯得俊美, 與善相應;若為惡, 就顯得醜陋, 與惡相應。由此可見, 在天國之光中, 一切了了分明, 因為天國之光乃是主的真理。
131. Since heaven's light is divine truth, that light is also divine wisdom and intelligence. Consequently "being raised into heaven's light" means the same thing as "being raised into intelligence and wisdom" and "being enlightened." So too, light among angels is at exactly the same level as their intelligence and wisdom.
Since heaven's light is divine wisdom, people are recognized in heaven's light for what they really are. Everyone's inner nature shines forth from the face just as it is, with nothing whatever concealed. Further, the more internally minded angels love to have everything within them visible because they do not intend anything but what is good. It is different for people who are below heaven and do not intend what is good. They are profoundly afraid of being seen in heaven's light. Remarkably, people in hell look human to each other, but in heaven's light they look like monsters, with frightful faces and bodies, in the exact form of their evil. 1
We have a similar appearance as to our spirits when angels look at us. If we are good, we look like handsome individuals in accord with our goodness; if we are evil we look like monsters, misshapen in accord with our evil. We can see from this that everything is clear in heaven's light. It is clear because heaven's light is divine truth.

131. As the light of heaven is Divine Truth, that light is also Divine wisdom and intelligence. Therefore, to be raised up into the light of heaven means the same as to be raised up into intelligence and wisdom and to be enlightened. For this reason the light with angels is in the same degree as their intelligence and wisdom. Because the light of heaven is Divine wisdom, therefore in that light the character of everyone is recognized. The interiors of anyone lie open to view in his face, just as they are, with not the least thing hidden. Interior angels also love all things pertaining to them to lie revealed, since they will nothing but good. It is otherwise with those beneath heaven who do not will what is good and therefore greatly fear to be seen in the light of heaven. And wonderful to tell, those in hell appear to one another as men, but, in the light of heaven they appear as monsters, horrid in face and body, the exact form of their own evil. 1Man, in respect of his spirit, when observed by angels, is seen in the same way; if good, he appears as a man, beautiful in accord with his good, if evil, as a monster, deformed in accord with his evil. From this it is clear that all things are made manifest in the light of heaven. They are made manifest because the light of heaven is Divine Truth.

131. Quoniam lux caeli est Divinum verum, ideo quoque lux illa est Divina sapientia et intelligentia; unde idem intelligitur per elevari in lucem caeli, quod per elevari in intelligentiam et sapientiam ac illustrari quapropter lux apud angelos est prorsus in eodem gradu secundum intelligentiam et sapientiam eorum. Quia lux caeli est Divina sapientia, ideo omnes cognoscuntur quales sunt in luce caeli, interiora cujusvis patent ibi in facie prorsus qualia sunt, nec minimum latet. Angeli interiores etiam amant ut omnia apud illos pateant, quoniam non nisi quam bonum volunt: aliter qui infra caelum, et non bonum volunt; illi ideo valde timent ut spectentur in luce caeli: et quod mirum, qui in inferno sunt, illi inter se apparent ut homines, sed in luce caeli ut monstra, horrenda facie et horrendo corpore, prorsus in forma sui mali. 1Similiter apparet homo quoad spiritum suum, cum spectatur ab angelis; si bonus apparet ut homo pulcher secundum ejus bonum; si malus ut monstrum, deforme secundum ejus malum. Inde patet, quod omnia manifestantur in luce caeli; manifestantur quia lux caeli est Divinum verum.
