AC 4413 - sparkled like diamonds

AC 4413
That the light of heaven
has within it intelligence and wisdom,
and that it is the intelligence of truth
and the wisdom of good from the Lord
that appear as light before the eyes of the angels,
it has been given me to know by a living experience.
I was taken up into a light
that sparkled like the light radiating from diamonds;
and while I was kept in it,
I seemed to myself to be withdrawn from bodily ideas
and to be brought into spiritual ideas,
thus into those things
which belong to the intelligence of truth and of good.
The ideas of thought
which originated from the light of the world
then appeared to be remote from me,
and as it were not belonging to me,
although they were present obscurely;
and by this it was given me to know
that insofar as anyone comes into the light of heaven,
so far he comes into intelligence.
It is for this reason that the more intelligent the angels are,
the greater and the brighter is the light in which they are.
