Heaven and Hell #275
275. The angels in any given heaven - even the angels in any given community - do not enjoy the same wisdom, but differ. Those in the center have the most wisdom, while those who have less are around them all the way to the borders. The decrease of wisdom according to the distance from the center is like the decrease in light as it tends toward darkness (see above, 43, 128). Further, the light for them is on a consistent level, since heaven's light is divine wisdom and each individual is in light in proportion to his or her acceptance of it. (On heaven's light and the different ways it is accepted, see above, 126-132.)
