Many seem to think that spirits and angels do not have homes

Many seem to think that spirits and angels do not have homes but this is not true. They do not need houses to shield them from the elements but they need them for privacy and retirement. When they build their homes they shield themselves from the sight of other angels; they construct them for privacy, rest and to be alone, whenever they desire to be, with the object of their affections; in other words, to be alone with themselves, for their other-self is but oneself. Their houses are reared not from material substance but from their thoughts, which become objective and are real things to them and other angels and spirits and they build them as they please. The glory and beauty of the angelic spheres can never be told; their heights, depths and grandeur and variety are beyond our comprehension; yet these spirits and angels do not consider it beneath them to descend to earth and aid the smallest and meanest of creatures. They lend their aid equally to the highest and the lowest; they try to overcome ignorance and error by instilling truth and wisdom; they try to bring forth the greatest happiness from the utmost misery. There is no such thing as failure but as it took ages to form worlds and as it takes time to form all things, so it takes time to bring forth truth from error, it takes time to bring forth happiness from misery.
