AC 2832
"Horns" are mentioned in many places in the Word;
and there signify the power of truth from good;
and in the opposite sense the power of falsity from evil;
here the meaning is that the spiritual
who are signified by the "ram"
are entangled in natural memory-knowledge with all their might
in regard to truth,
and hence that they are deprived of the power of perceiving truths.
For the more any one consults natural memory-knowledges,
and sticks fast in his mind in regard to the things which are truths of faith,
the more does he lose the light of truth, and with the light, the life of truth.
