AC 2057 [2]
Mutual love in heaven consists in the fact
that they love the neighbor more than themselves,
the effect of which is
that the whole heaven represents as it were one man;
for by means of mutual love
all are associated together by the Lord,
and so it is that the happinesses of all
are communicated to each one,
and those of each one to all.
. . . And because those who are in that love
perceive the highest happiness
in being able to communicate to others
that which flows into them,
and this from the heart,
the communication becomes perpetual and eternal;
and on this account,
as the Lord's kingdom increases,
so the happiness of each angel increases.
