AC 10038 [2]
There are two fires of life with a person:
one is the love of self,
the other is love to God.
They who are in the love of self cannot be in love to God,
because these loves are opposite.
They are opposite
because the love of self produces all evils,
which are contempt for others in comparison with self,
enmity against those who do not favor [them],
and finally hatreds, revenges, brutalities, cruelties;
which evils wholly resist the Divine influx,
and consequently extinguish
the truths and goods of faith and of charity,
for these are what flow in from the Lord.
