AC 7640 - Two Things in Humiliation; AC 7643 - "Locust" and "Caterpillar"

AC 7640

. . . there are two things in humiliation,
namely, the acknowledgment of self,
that it is nothing but evil,
and that relatively to the Divine 

it is as nothing;
and the acknowledgment of the Divine,
that it is nothing but good, and is infinite.
These two things are not possible with the evil,
because they are in the love of self.
. . . As humiliation is not possible with the evil,
therefore in the internal sense by "to be humbled"
is signified obedience,
and thus by "refusing to be humbled"
is signified no obedience.

AC 7643 [4]
In the Word, where the vastation of the evil is treated of,mention is sometimes made of the "locust"
and of the "caterpillar,"
and by the "locust" in the internal sense
is there meant the falsity which vastates the extremes.
For as before shown,
the natural with man is interior and exterior;
the falsity which is in the extremes of the natural,
being meant by the "locust,"
and the evil therein by the "caterpillar."
