AC 3033 - knowing what is in the heart

AC 3033 [2]
When a person has the affection of good,
that is, when he wills good from the heart,
then whenever anything is to be thought of that is to be willed and done,
his good willing flows into his thinking,
and there it applies itself to the knowledges which are there,
and joins itself with them as its recipient vessels,
and by this conjunction impels him so to think, to will, and to act.
It is as it were an inserting of good in truths
or in the knowledges of truth.
But when a person has not the affection of good,
but the affection of evil, that is, then he wills evil
(as when he believes all to be good that is for himself,
so that he may become great and may be rich,
thus possess honor and wealth, and this is his end),
then when anything is to be thought of that is to be willed and done,
his willing equally flows into his thinking,
and there excites knowledges
which appear in the semblance of truth;
and so it impels the person to think, to will, and to do;
and this by a wrong application of knowledges,
and by looking upon certain general truths
which he has drawn from the sense of the letter of the Word
or from other knowledge as being applicable in every sense:
it is in this way that evil is coupled with falsity,
for in this case the truth which is in it
is deprived of all the essence of truth..
