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.

235. Angelic language, like human language, is differentiated into words. It is similarly uttered audibly and heard audibly. Angels have mouths and tongues and ears just as we do; and they also have an atmosphere in which the sound of their language is articulated. However, it is a spiritual atmosphere that is adapted to angels, who are spiritual. Angels breathe in their atmosphere and use their breath to utter words just the way we do in ours. 1
Bilješke:
1. [Swedenborg's footnote] There is a breathing in the heavens, but it is more inward: 3884-3885; from experience: 3884-3885, 3891, 3893. The ways they breathe differ and vary depending on their states: 1119, 3886-3887, 3889, 3892-3893. Evil people are utterly incapable of breathing in heaven and suffocate if they come there: 3893 [3894?].
