AC 5423 - Correspondence Is; AC 5428 - The Glory of Heaven and the Angels

AC 5423 - Correspondence Is

Correspondence is
the appearing of the internal in the external,
and its representation within;
so when there is no correspondence,
there is no appearing of the internal in the external,
and therefore no representation of it within.

AC 5428 [1, 3] - The Glory of Heaven and the Angels

. . . the glory of heaven is the Divine
that shines forth from every thing that appears there,
and is the perception of Divine things,
and the consequent wisdom;
but that this glory is possessed
only by those in heaven
who regard the magnificence there as nothing
in comparison with wisdom,
and attribute all wisdom
to the Lord
and none at all to themselves . . ..

. . . the angels are overwhelmed with sorrow and grief
if permitted to think and to will from themselves . . ..
