450.今天,在清醒的状态下,我也获知与天使的代表性言语有关的这些事是什么情况。凡所发生的事,都被视为一个对象,无论是一种情感、一种洞察力,还是某种类似的东西;微妙的代表通过这些对象而被创造。因此,所代表的这些对象是从感官对象抽象出来的实物,如一种情感、一种洞察力和一个颜色。那时,这些对象照着在脑海里被翻来覆去思想的主题而自我排列。正是由于这个原因,现在天堂得以与人类交流。
450. Today while awake, I also learned how these matters stand. As for the pictorial speech of the angels, anything whatever that is encountered is taken as an object, whether it be an affection, or an insight, or anything of that order; and by means of these, delicate displays are created. So the objects are realities apart from objects of the senses: such as an affection, an insight, a color. These objects then arrange themselves according to the subjects being thought about. It is due to this, then, that the heavens have communication [with mankind].
450. Today, in a state of wakefulness, I also learnt how the case is with regard to those things which relate to the representative speech of the angels. Whatever occurs is assumed as an object, whether it be affection, or understanding, or anything similar, and by means of such objects subtle representations are made; thus the objects [represented] are things abstracted from the objects of the senses, as are affection, understanding, and color; these are afterwards circumstanced according to those things which are turned over in the mind. The heavens now have communication thereby.
450. In vigilia hodie quoque didici, quomodo haec se habent: quod ad loquelam repraesentativam angelorum assumitur pro objecto, quodcunque obvenit, sicut aut affectio, aut intellectus, aut simile quid, et per ea fiunt repraesentationes subtiles, ita objecta sunt res abstractae ab objectis sensuum: sicut est affectio, intellectus, color, quae se habent postea secundum ea, quae volvuntur, inde nunc coeli habent communicationem.
