AC 6619
The fact that the ideas constituting a person's thought
contain countless details,
and that the details they contain
are held in order from interior sources,
has also been evident to me
while I read the Lord's Prayer morning and evening.
And such things were also poured in as cannot be
uttered,
and also could not be comprehended by me;
I merely felt the
general resulting affection,
and wonderful to say the things that flowed
in
were varied from day to day.
From this I was given to know
that in
the contents of this Prayer
there are more things
than the universal
heaven is capable of comprehending;
and that with a person there are more
things in it
in proportion as his thought has been opened toward heaven;
and on the other hand,
there are fewer things in it
in proportion as
his thought has been closed;
for with those whose thought has been
closed,
nothing more appears in the Prayer
than the literal meaning or that nearest the actual words.
