3529. 'And I shall be in his eyes as one who misleads' means rejection because of being, as it seems, contrary to order. This is clear from the meaning of 'being in his eyes' as a discernment of what it is really like, for 'the eye' means the discernment belonging to internal sight, 212, 2701, 2789, 2829, 3198, 3202, and from the meaning of 'one who misleads' or a misleader, as contrary to order, in this case seemingly contrary - all misleading being nothing else. And this would lead to rejection. But what is meant by being, as it seems, contrary to order will be evident below.

1383. CHAPTER 12

THE PERCEPTION SPIRITS AND ANGELS HAVE; ALSO SPHERES IN THE NEXT LIFE

Among the marvels in the next life are perceptions, of which there are two kinds. The first, which is angelic, consists in the angels perceiving what is true and good, perceiving what is from the Lord and what from self, and also perceiving the source and nature of their own thoughts, speech, and actions when these spring from self. The second kind is one that is common to all - with angels to the height of perfection, and with spirits according to the particular character of each one - and consists in knowing the character of another as soon as he approaches.
