6612.由此也明显可知，人的思维越外在，它传播的距离就越短；越内在，则传播的距离就越长。因为思维更外在，也就是在感官层面进行思考的人只与粗鄙、愚钝的灵人交流；而思维更内在，也就是思维源于理性层面的人则与天使交流。这种区别的性质从感官灵所在气场的稠密度和天堂天使所在气场的纯净度可以看出来。这种区别就像声音的传播和光的传播之间的区别；那些熟悉自然现象的学生们知道这种区别何等之大。

6612. From all this it is also evident that the more exteriorly a man thinks, the less extension he has, and the more interiorly, the greater extension. For they who think exteriorly, that is, who are in what is sensuous, communicate only with grosser spirits; whereas they who think interiorly, that is, from the rational, have communication with angels; and the nature of this difference can be seen from the density of the sphere in which the sensuous spirits are, and from the purity of the sphere in which the angels of heaven are. This difference is like that between the extension of sound, and the extension of light; and how great this is, is known to those who are skilled in the things of nature.

6612. From all this it is also evident that the more external a person's thinking is, the less distance it spreads; and the more internal it is, the greater distance it spreads. For people whose thought is more external, that is, takes place on a sensory level, are in contact solely with the more obtuse spirits; but those whose thought is more internal, that is, springs from a rational level, are in contact with angels. The nature of the difference can be recognized from the closeness of the atmosphere in which sensory-minded spirits live and the freshness of the atmosphere in which the angels of heaven live. The difference between the two is like the difference between the transmission of sound and the transmission of light, a difference that students of natural phenomena are well acquainted with.
Latin(1748-1756) 6612
6612. {1}Ex his etiam patet quod homo quo exterius cogitat, eo minorem extensionem habeat; et quo interius, eo majorem, nam qui exterius cogitant, hoc est, qui in sensuali, illi communicant solum cum spiritibus crassioribus; at qui interius, hoc est, ex rationali, illi communicationem habent cum angelis, quae qualis differentia, constare potest a densitate sphaerae in qua sunt spiritus sensuales, et ex puritate sphaerae in qua sunt angeli caeli; se habet differentia sicut differentia inter extensionem soni, et extensionem lucis, quae quanta sit, naturalium periti sciunt. @1 Inde nunc$
