600.关于天堂里的一种总体荣耀。在相当长的一段时间里，我一直被保持在一种总体的广阔视野中，这几乎使我退离了个人或物质的观念。可以说，附近出现了一道活泼、耀眼的光芒，就像钻石的光芒，而且持续了很长一段时间。我无法以其它任何方式来描述这种光，因为它是非常普遍的，它把我引离肉体的观念，事实上从肉体中抽离出来。当我在它里面时，我看见肉体事物仿佛在我下面；我的确感觉到它们，但好像它们从我身上被移走了，不属于我，因而不是我的一部分。有几次灵人和魔鬼说我不在他们身边，他们不知道我在哪里，也不知道我在想什么。他们抱怨说，我就这样从他们那里被移走了，因为他们与我交谈，并通过直接交流与我为一的乐趣消失了。
600. About a collective glorification in the heavens
For quite a long time I was kept in a broad vision, which almost withdrew me from personal ideas, or those on the bodily plane. There appeared a kind of lively sparkling of light nearby, like the light of diamonds, and this continued for quite a long time. I cannot describe that light in any other way, for it was very general, and it drew me away from ideas on the bodily plane, in fact, from the body. When I was in it, then I was looking at bodily things as if below me, and I did feel them, but as if remote from me and not belonging to me, and thus not being part of me.
Several times, the spirits and demons said that I was absent from them, and that they did not know where I was, nor what I was thinking. They complained that because of this, I was being removed from them, and thus the gladness which they had felt from speaking with me, and from being one with me through direct communication, had passed away.
600. CONCERNING A GENERAL GLORYING IN HEAVEN
For quite a time I was kept in a general vision which almost withdrew me from particular or corporeal ideas. There appeared, as it were, a vivid sparkling of light nearby, as though it were an adamantine light, and this for quite a time. I am unable to describe that light in any other manner, for it was general, and it withdrew me from corporeal ideas, indeed, from the body. When I was in it, I regarded corporeal things as beneath me; I indeed felt them but as if they were removed from, and did not pertain to me, thus as not communicating with me. The spirits and genii sometimes said that I was absent from them, and they did not know where I was, nor what I was thinking. They complained that I was thus removed from them, for the pleasure they had in speaking with me, and being one with me by immediate communications, perished.
600. De gloriatione communi in coelis
Diu satis detentus sum in visione communi, quae paene abduxit me ab ideis particularibus, seu corporeis, apparuit quasi scintillatio viva lucis contigua 1
, quasi lux adamantina, et hoc satis diu, istam lucem non possum describere aliter, nam communis erat, et abduxit me ab ideis corporeis, imo a corpore; quando in illa essem, tunc spectabam corporea tanquam infra me, quae quidem sentiebam, sed sicut remota a me, et ad me non pertinentia, sic mecum non communicantia, dicebant spiritus et genii, aliquoties, quod abessem ab illis, et nescirent 2
ubinam essem, et quid cogitarem; conquesti, quod sic removerer ab iis, sic periit eorum laetitia, quam habuerunt mecum loquendi 3
, et unum esse mecum per communicationes immediatas.
