AC 4149 [2]
Every spiritual good has its own truths;
for where this good is,
there are its truths.
Regarded in itself good is one,
but it becomes various by means of truths;
. . . For all the truths with everyone who is in good
communicate with one another,
and produce a certain form, and . . .
the mind of one
is never altogether like that of another . . ..
AC 4151 [5,6,7]
. . . as all good and truth are from the Lord,
so all evil and falsity are from hell. . .
and if they had believed this,
they would have suffered themselves to be led by the Lord,
and so would have been in a different state,
and then the evil which entered into their thought and will
would not have affected them,
because not evil but good would have gone out of them;
for it is not the things that enter in,
but those which go out
that affect us . . ..
