AC 5794
. . . communication takes place solely through good,
and not through truth
unless there is good in the truth.
AC 5798
. . . one who is angry with another turns away,
for in that state
he does not think like him,
but against him.
AC 5807 [2]
In its essence
love is the harmony
resulting from changes of the state,
and variations in the forms or substances,
of which the human mind consists.
This harmony,
if from the heavenly form,
is heavenly love.
It is evident therefore
that love cannot have any other origin
than the Divine love itself
which is from the Lord;
thus that love is the Divine
which flows into forms,
and so disposes them
that their changes of state and variations
may be in the harmony of heaven.
AC 5816
Good is like a little flame
which gives light and illumines,
and causes a person to see, perceive,
and believe truths.
For the affection of truth from good
determines the internal sight,
and withdraws the sight
from worldly and bodily things,
which induce darkness.
