265. THE WISDOM OF THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN

The nature of angelic wisdom can scarcely be comprehended, because it too greatly transcends human wisdom to be compared with it; and whatever is thus transcendent does not seem to be anything. Moreover, some truths that must enter into the description of it are as yet unrecognized, and until these are recognized they exist in the understanding as shadows, and thus hide the thing as it is in itself. Nevertheless, they are such truths as can be known, and when known be comprehended, provided the mind (mens) takes delight in them. For delight has light with it because it is from love; and upon those who love the things pertaining to Divine and heavenly wisdom, light shines forth from heaven and there is enlightenment.
