be expressed

They can only be expressed and described by themselves, by their own language, words and writings; and not by human ones. From this it is that it is said, that the things heard and seen in the heavens are ineffable. These differences may in some measure be comprehended by these things ; that the thoughts of the angels of the highest or third heaven, are thoughts of ends, and the thoughts of the angels of the middle or second heaven, are thoughts jimmy choo uggs of causes, and the thoughts of the angels of the lowest or first heaven, are thoughts of effects. It is to be known, that it is one thing to think from ends, and another of ends; also that it is one thing to think from causes, and another of causes; as also that it is one thing to think from effects, and another of effects. The angbls of the lowef heavens think of causes and of ends, but the angels of the higher heavens from causes and from ends; and to think from these, is of superior wisdom ; but to think of those, is of inferior wisdom. To think from ends, is of wisdom ; jimmy choo shoes from causes, is of intelligence ; and from effects, is of scieuce. From this it is manifest, that all perfection ascends and descends with degrees, and according to them. Since the interiors of man, which are of his will and understanding, are similar to the heavens, as to the degrees, for man, as to the interiors, which are of his mind, is a heaven in the least form; therefore their perfections also are similar. But those perfections do not appear to any man, so long jimmy choo as he lives in the world, for then he is in the lowest degree; and from the lowest degree the higher degrees cannot be known, but after death they are known: for then man comes into that degree, which correspondsto his love and wisdom.
