AC 7233, 7236, 7245 - the variety of enlightenment

AC 7233 [3]
. . . the intellectual cannot be enlightened
unless it is believed
that love to the Lord and charity toward the neighbor
are the principal and essential things of the church.
He who proceeds from the acknowledgment of these,
provided he himself is in them,
sees innumerable truths;
indeed he sees very many secrets disclosed to him,
and this from interior acknowledgment,
according to the degree of the enlightenment from the Lord.

AC 7236 [3]
That which makes good so various is truth;
for when truth is conjoined with good
it qualifies it.

AC 7245
. . . the law Divine appears impure 

to those who are in falsities . . ..
