6209. An influx from angels that takes place with a person is not discerned as an influx from spirits is, for what flows in from angels is not material but spiritual. It seems to be altogether like a stream of air, flowing from interior angels as something filled with light, and from angels even more interior as something flaming. More will be said about these matters in the Lord's Divine mercy at the ends of chapters following this.

2756. There are some who have held to the idea of wife-sharing. In the next life these speak as though they were good, but they are harmful and deceitful. Their punishment is dreadful. They are bundled together so to speak, and, by the use of that which is a representative, a serpent is stretched around them, which ties them up seemingly into a tight ball, and in this condition they are cast out.
