AC 3593 - Before & After Regeneration, Simply Put; AC 3596 - Why Some Things Aren't Explained

AC 3593

. . . the two states of the person
who is being regenerated --
the state before he has been regenerated,
and the state after he has been regenerated --
namely, that in the state
before he has been regenerated,
truths apparently have the dominion;
while in the state after he has been regenerated,
truths give place,
and good receives the dominion.

AC 3596

But because these matters are such
as to be beyond the range of anything
grasped by the natural person
and so cannot be seen except in the light
in which the rational or internal person sees --
a light in which few see at the present day
because few are regenerate --
it is better not to elucidate them any further,
for the elucidation of things which are not known
and which go beyond the range
of a person's understanding
does not throw light on them
but rather puts them in the shade.
What is more, such things ought also to exist
as a superstructure
built upon ideas of natural truths
by means of which they can be grasped;
but these ideas too are lacking at the present day.
This also explains why the phrases prior
to that under discussion here
have been explained so briefly
and solely as to the internal sense
of the words used.
