AC 6232 - indefinitely infinite

AC 6232 [2]
That truths and goods can increase indefinitely
comes from the fact that they proceed from the Lord,
Who is infinite.

That truths and goods are of this nature,
may be seen from the fact
that the universal heaven is in truth and good,
and yet no one is in exactly the same
truth and good as another.
This would still be the case
if heaven were a thousand and a thousand times greater.
The same may be seen from the fact
that the angels are being perfected to eternity,
that is, they continually grow in good and truth,
and yet cannot arrive at the grade of any perfection,
because there always remains an indefinite scope;
for truths are indefinite in number,
and each truth has an indefinite scope within it;
and so on.
