AC 6757, 6765, 6769 - the burden of falsity and the safety of truth

AC 6757
... infestation by falsities are nothing else
than burdens to those who are in truths.

AC 6765
When a person is being regenerated,
he is let into combats against falsities,
and is then kept by the Lord in truth,
but in that truth which he had persuaded himself to be truth,
and from this truth he fights against falsity.
He can fight also from truth not genuine,
provided the truth is such that in some way it can be conjoined with good;
and it is conjoined with good by means of innocence,
for innocence is the means of conjunction.
So it is that people can be regenerated within the church from any doctrine,
but those pre-eminently who are in genuine truths.

AC 6769
... for they who are in truths are in safety wherever they go,
even in the midst of the hells.

The last quote is most calming

for they who are in truths
are in safety wherever they go,
even in the midst of the hells.
