... the order in which memory-knowledges and truths are arranged in a person's memory is unknown to a person, but when it pleases the Lord it is known to the angels. For it is a wonderful order. They cohere as in little bundles, and the little bundles themselves cohere together, and this according to the connection of things which the person had conceived. These coherences are more wonderful than any person can ever believe. In the other life they are sometimes presented to view, for in the light of heaven which is spiritual, such things can be exhibited to the sight of the eye, but not at all in the light of the world. The memory-knowledges and truths are arranged into these fascicular forms soley by the person's loves - into infernal forms by the loves of self and of the world, but into heavenly forms by love toward the neighbor and love to God.
