WHOM THE ANGELS CALL INTELLIGENT.
67
And are they so blind as not to know what God is, what an angel is, what a spirit is, what their own soul is which is to live after death, what the life of heaven in man is, and many other things of intelligence? When yet those whom they call simpletons, know all these things in some measure. Their idea is, that God is the Divine in a human form; that an angel is a heavenly man; that their own soul which is to live after death, is like an angel; and that the life of heaven in man is to live according to the divine precepts. These, therefore, the angels call intelligent, and fitted for heaven; but the others, on the contrary, not intelligent. (H. H., n. 79-86.)
