AC 4901 [2]
The progression of the life of spirits and angels indeed appears as in time;
but they have no thought from times, as people in the world have;
their thought is from states of the life,
and this without notion of times.
The reason of this is that the progressions of their life
are not distinguished into different ages,
for there they do not grow old,
and there are no days or years,
because their sun, which is the Lord, is always rising and never sets.
Hence no notion of time enters their thoughts,
but only a notion of state and its progressions -
notions being taken from the things that are and exist before the senses.
