DP 60
Among the things people need to know about
is also the angelic heaven
for everyone who has any religion
thinks about it and wishes to go
there.
Yet heaven is granted only to those
who know the way to it
and walk in that way.
This way can be known to some extent, too,
from knowing the character
of those who constitute heaven,
and
from knowing that no one
becomes an angel or comes into heaven
except one who brings
an angelic character with him from the
world.
Present in an angelic character, moreover,
is a knowledge
of the way from walking in it,
and a walking in the way through a
knowledge of it.
The spiritual world also has in it actual paths
which lead to
every society of heaven
and to every society of hell;
and everyone
sees his own path
as though of himself.
He sees it
because there
are paths there for every love,
and love reveals the path
and
leads a person to his fellows.
No one sees any other paths
than
those of his own love.
that angels are simply
embodiments of heavenly loves,
for otherwise they would not have seen
the paths leading to heaven.
