Key Notes
A student answers that Piccarda is content because absolute obedience to God requires contentment with the first sphere, and Jiang affirms that this is exactly what the passage says.
The student's answer says advancement inside heaven becomes unintelligible because wanting a higher sphere would already betray the contentment required for the lower one, while being moved upward against one's will would also be incoherent.
Jiang says nobody else places a soul in the lowest sphere; a person arrives there through free choice and self-limiting contentment.
