AC 4096 [2,5]
The subject now is the reciprocal application to good
of those affections for truth . . ..
But these things are of such a nature
that they do not fall into any understanding
except that which has been instructed,
and which perceives delight
in the memory-knowledge of such things,
and which therefore has spiritual knowledges as its end.
Others care nothing for such things,
and cannot even apply their minds to them.
For they who have worldly and earthly things as their end,
cannot withdraw their senses from them;
and even if they did so,
they would perceive what is undelightful . . ..
. . . Good which is the good of love and charity
flows in from the Lord,
doing so through the angels present with a person.
It does not flow into anything else with a person
than his knowledges.
And as good is there fixed,
the thought is kept in
the truths of the knowledges;
and from these many things are called up
which are related and are in agreement . . ..
