AC 5089 - the learned, the simple

AC 5089 [2]
... those who are sensuous and have zealously devoted themselves to getting knowledges, rarely apprehend anything of the things of heaven....
... the learned believe less than the simple, and are even less wise in heavenly things; for the simple can look at a thing above terms and above mere knowledges, thus above sensuous things; whereas the learned cannot do so, but look at everything from terms and knowledges, their mind being fixed in these things, and thus bound as in jail or in prison.
