The speech of the celestial angels abounds in the vowels A (ah, as in father), and U (as u in rule). One may often determine from the Hebrew vowels in a passage which words belong to the class of celestials and which to the spirituals — i.e., whether they involve good or truth. The former use more frequently the sounds of O and U, for they have a full tone, and also occur oftener in the Third Heaven.

5618. Continuation about the Word

There were some unmarried young women who read the Word daily. One was of a heavenly nature; the other two were intermediate between those who are heavenly and those who are spiritual. These three had the Word in their possession. When two of them did not read it for 10 days the copy of the Word disappeared. But they thought about the reason for this, and it was realized that it was because they were not reading. Then they took a copy of the Word from a rock, and when they read it, the characters of the words were of a nature similar [to those before], but they did not understand. They were in the heavenly style of writing. After this they took the Word and read it daily. The Word they had was the Word according to the more inward sense, which is midway between the natural and the spiritual, in the fashion of history and prophecy. But in place of the names of persons and places, and in place of the numbers, there were subjects, there in place of Moses, Aaron, and David was the Lord.
