AC 2469 - Two Memories; AC 2493 - The Lord Shares Manna

AC 2469

Scarcely anyone has known until now
that everyone has two memories,
one exterior, the other interior,
and that the exterior memory
belongs properly to his body
but the interior to his spirit.

AC 2493

. . . the more interior and perfect the angels are,
the less do they care for past things,
and the less do they think of things to come;
and also that from this comes their happiness.
They say that the Lord gives them
every moment what to think,
and this with blessedness and happiness;
and that they are thus free from cares and anxieties.
Also, that this was meant in the internal sense
by the manna being received daily from heaven;
and by the daily bread in the Lord's Prayer;
and likewise by the instruction
not to be solicitous
about what they should eat and drink,
and wherewithal they should be clothed.
But although the angels do not care for past things,
and are not solicitous about things to come,
they nevertheless have
the most perfect recollection of past things,
and the most perfect mental view of things to come;
because in all their present
there are both the past and the future.
Thus they have a more perfect memory
than can ever be thought of or expressed.
