262. It is a notable fact that the writings in the heavens flow naturally from their very thoughts, and this so easily that it is as if the thought put itself forth. Nor does the hand hesitate in the choice of a particular word, because both the words they speak and those they write correspond to the ideas of their thought; and all the correspondence is natural and spontaneous. There are also writings in the heavens that exist without the aid of the hand, from mere correspondence with the thoughts; but these do not endure.
