AC 1621, 1622 - the amazing atmospheres and paradises in heaven

AC 1621
As regards the atmospheres in which the blessed live,
which are of the light
because from that light they are numberless,
and are of beauty and pleasantness so great
that they cannot be described.
There are diamond-like atmospheres,
which glitter in all their least parts,
as if they were composed of diamond sphericals.
There are atmospheres resembling the sparkling of all the precious stones.
There are atmospheres as of great pearls translucent from their centers,
and shining with the brightest colors.
There are atmospheres that flame as from gold, also from silver,
and also from diamond-like gold and silver.
There are atmospheres of flowers of variegated hue
that are in forms most minute and scarcely discernible;
such, in endless variety fill the heaven of infants.
There are even atmospheres as of sporting infants,
in forms most minute, indiscernible,
and perceptible only to an inmost idea;
from which the infants receive the idea
that all the things around them are alive,
and are in the Lord's life;
which affects their inmosts with happiness.
There are other kinds besides,
for the varieties are innumerable, and are also unspeakable.

AC 1622
As regards the paradise scenes, they are amazing.
Paradise gardens are presented to view of immense extent,
consisting of trees of every kind,
and of beauty and pleasantness so great
as to surpass every idea of thought;
and these gardens are presented with such life before the external sight
that those who are there not only see them,
but perceive every particular much more vividly
than the sight of the eye perceives such things on earth.
. . . Each and all things there
appear in their most beautiful springtime and flower,
with a magnificence and variety that are amazing;
and they are living, each and all, because they are representatives;
for there is nothing that does not represent and signify
something celestial and spiritual.
Thus they not only affect the sight with pleasantness,
but also the mind with happiness.
