AC 6078 - memory-knowledges and truths sustain the soul of a person

AC 6078
That truths nourish the spiritual life is especially manifest with good spirits and with the angels in heaven, for both good spirits and angels have a constant longing to know things and to be wise; and when they lack this spiritual food they feel desolate, their life is languid, and they are hungry; and they are not restored and raised into the bliss of their life until their longing is satisfied. But in order that memory-knowledges may yield healthful nourishment to the soul, there must be in them life from the goods of truth.

[5] John 10:9:

I am the door;
by Me if any one enter in,
he shall be saved,
and shall go in and go out,
and shall find pasture.


where "pasture" denotes the goods and truths
which those have who acknowledge the Lord,
and seek life from Him alone.
