AE 1100 [24]
If what is not understood must be believed,
a man might be taught like a parrot to speak and to remember....
But be it known that all the truths of the Word,
which are the truths of heaven and of the church,
can be seen by the understanding,
in heaven spiritually,
in the world rationally;
for a truly human understanding is the sight itself of these truths,
for it is separated from what is material
and when separated
it sees truths as clearly as the eye sees objects;
it sees truths as it loves them,
for as it loves them it is enlightened.
The angels have wisdom in consequence of seeing truths....
