2210. Angelic speech with earthly humans
Angels cannot speak with people on earth except by intermediate spirits, for their speech comprehends simultaneously more than can be expressed by words. Nevertheless, I was enabled to feel what it is like when they address man directly. It is as if I was being touched by a spiritual breeze, not intelligible except through feeling. 1748, 6 June.
2210. THE ANGELIC SPEECH WITH MAN.
Angels cannot speak with man, save through intermediate spirits, for their speech comprises together more things than can he expressed by words. Nevertheless it was granted to perceive how it is circumstanced when they directly address man. There is, as it were, a spiritual afflatus, not intelligible, except by means of the affection wherewith I was affected. - 1748, June 6.
2210. Angelica loquela cum homine
Angeli cum homine loqui nequeunt, nisi per spiritus intermedios, nam plura simul comprehendit loquela eorum, quam ut exprimi verbis queat, percipere tamen dabatur, quomodo se habet, cum immediate hominem alloquuntur, est quasi spiritualis afflatus, non intelligibilis, nisi per affectionem, qua afficiebar. 1748, 6 Junius.
