AC 3954
... with the internal sense of the Word
the case is that when the sense of the letter ascends toward heaven,
and thus enters into the sphere where the thought is from the Lord
and concerning the Lord
and what belongs to the Lord,
it is at last so perceived by the angels....
For the sense of the letter cannot come to the angels,
because it treats in most places of worldly, earthly, and corporeal things,
of which the angels cannot think,
because they are in spiritual and celestial things,
and thus far above what is earthly.
For this reason a Word has been given that can serve people
and at the same time the angels.
In this the Word differs from every other writing.
