AC 9128 - "If the sun have risen upon him." (Exodus 22:2)

AC 9128 [2]
A person sees in himself whether what he thinks and wills,
and consequently what he says and does,
is good or evil, and consequently whether it is true or false.
This is quite impossible unless he sees from within.
Seeing from within
is seeing from the sight of the internal person in the external.
The case is the same as with the sight of the eye:
the eye cannot see the things which are within it,
but only those which are outside of it.
From this then it is
that a person sees the good and the evil that are in himself.
Nevertheless one person sees this better than another,
and some do not see it at all.
They who see it,
are they who have received from the Lord the life of faith and charity,
for this life is the internal life, or the life of the internal man.
Such persons, being from faith in truth, and from charity in good,
can see the evils and falsities in themselves;
for evil can be seen from good, and falsity from truth; but not contrariwise.
The reason is that good and truth are in heaven, and in its light;
whereas evil and falsity are in hell, and in its darkness.
From this it is evident that those who are in evil and thence in falsity
cannot see the good and truth, nor even the evil and falsity,
which are in themselves,
consequently neither can they see from within.
