678. [The difference] was further shown today to a certain extent by a spiritual angelic choir, speaking, and saying that there is now no one [who knows, 677]. For this choir divides up and separates its lovely contemplations into mental images, which come down into words, while the more inward choir is like something continuous, which expresses more in one instant - and very clearly - than the inward choir does in an hour.
678. This was further shown today, in a certain manner, by a spiritual angelic choir which was speaking. It said that it is now nothing, for it distinguishes and separates its pleasant speculations into ideas which fall into words, when yet that which is more interior is, as it were, something continuous and expresses more in one moment than the interior can do in an hour, and this quite distinctly.
