AC 7854
. . . man cannot endure pure truth and pure good.
AC 7861
That temptations are signified by "burning with fire"
is because purifications are effected by fire;
also because when a person is in temptations,
he is let down into his cupidities, which are fires.
AC 7863
By "the loins being girded"
is signified readiness to receive the influx
of good and truth from the Lord,
and also to act according to the influx.
All girding and investiture
signifies a state prepared to receive and to act,
for then all things and each are kept in their order.
It is otherwise when they have not been girded.
