4674. About the heavenly heaven, and about the doors there

I have spoken many times with those who are from the Lord's heavenly kingdom, who flow into the feelings and if into the thoughts, then through the feelings. They appear in the higher aura, above those in the spiritual kingdom, and the higher up they are there, the more perfect they are. I have spoken often and much with those who occupy the middle region and have been informed about their state there. I have seen and noticed that while they indeed remained above in their places, still they were gradually, one after another, transferred from the left toward the right in such a way that there is a kind of innermost gyration that leads them round, of which they themselves are entirely unaware. They suppose that they are always in one same place as long as they are in their dwellings. I also saw a light among them and also a light under them in which there was a little child, which light is so bright that it is many times brighter than the noonday light of the sun on earth. This is incredible, and yet true. I saw it in the midst of darkness and when there was darkness on earth; and while I was watching, a part was opened up below them, which happened as it does when clouds pass by and open up in the middle, and then light appears. Then I also saw them in the midst of the light.
