AC 7324 - pools; AC 7343 - to drink

AC 7324
"Pools," when mentioned in the Word,
in the spiritual sense
signify intelligence from the knowledges of good and truth,
for "pools" there mean waters gathered together, or lakes;
and waters gathered together, and lakes,
denote in the complex the knowledges
through which is intelligence . . ..

AC 7343
That "to drink" is to apply . . ..
He who is in the affection of truth 
applies truths to himself
according to the state and quality of his affection;
he who is in the affection of falsity,
when he applies truths to himself,
perverts and falsifies them,
as can be seen from the fact
that Divine truth flows in with all,
but is varied with everyone
according to the state and quality of his life;
and so the infernals turn it into falsities,
just as they turn Divine good into evil,
heavenly loves into diabolical loves,
mercy into hatred and cruelty,
conjugial love into adulteries . . ..
