AC 1047 - Dark Clouds; AC 1049, 1054 - To "Remember" and to "See"

AC 1047

. . . the loves of self and of the world --
which are of a person's will --
are nothing but hatred.
For in so far as anyone loves himself,
so far he hates the neighbor.

. . . Falsity beclouds truth
just as a dark cloud does the light of the sun.
And because falsity and truth cannot be together,
just as darkness and light cannot,
it plainly follows
that the one departs as the other comes.

AC 1049

. . . with the Lord,
to "remember" is to have mercy.

AC 1054

. . . to "see" any one,
when predicated of the Lord,
means to know his quality.

. . . As regards the Lord
the case is the same with "seeing"
as it is with "remembering,"
which in the internal sense means to have mercy.
