AC 2832 - horns and rams

AC 2832
"Horns" are mentioned in many places in the Word;
and there signify the power of truth from good;
and in the opposite sense the power of falsity from evil;
here the meaning is
that the spiritual who are signified by the "ram"
are entangled in natural memory-knowledges
with all their might in regard to truth,
and consequently
that they are deprived of the power of perceiving truths.
For the more anyone consults natural memory-knowledges,
and sticks fast in them in his mind
in regard to the things which are truths of faith,
the more does he lose the light of truth,
and with the light, the life of truth.

[14] . . . the Lord's Word in its essence
does not treat of worldly and earthly (things),
but of spiritual and heavenly things.
