190. The houses in which angels dwell are not built as are houses in the world, but they are given to them freely by the Lord, to every one in accordance with his reception of good and truth. They also vary a little in accordance with changes of the state of the interiors of the angels as mentioned above (n. 154-160). Everything whatsoever that the angels possess they hold as gifts from the Lord, and whatever they have need of is given to them.
