AC 3391 - "Look out through a window"

AC 3391

. . . to "look out through a window"
is to perceive those things
which appear by means of the internal sight,
which in general are knowledges
such as are of the external person.
Rational things, or what is the same,
appearances of truth, that is, truths spiritual,
are not knowledges,
but are in knowledges,
for they belong to the rational,
thus to the internal person,
and it is the internal person
which looks to the things of the external person,
thus to truths in knowledges.
For as knowledges are of the natural person,
they are vessels that receive rational things . . ..
