AC 6505, 6507 - temptation, change

AC 6505
. . . by means of temptations
evils and falsities are removed,
and the person is thereby prepared
to receive truths and goods.

AC 6507
For when the truth of the spiritual church becomes good,
a revolution takes place,
and the person no longer looks at truths from truths,
but from good . . ..
From this comes the sadness,
and it also comes from the fact
that a different order 

is effected among the memory-knowledges,
which is not effected without pain.
