Spiritual Experiences #5604

5604. However, they have the Word written in spiritual language, spoken of earlier [5587ֹ7]. They have the Word with a double wisdom: the spiritual [angels] have a meaning intermediate between the inner and the outer meaning; the more inwardly spiritual have it entirely according to the inner meaning; and the heavenly [angels] according to the innermost meaning. In their Word there are no names or numbers, but in place of them realities. Those who desire to be intelligent and wise can be instructed from the Word about the details. In place of the story of creation, it treats there of the new creation of a human being.
