AC 112 [3]
. . . without the knowledges of truth and good from the Word
no one can know anything of the Lord,
of the angelic heaven,
or of charity and faith;
and that which a person does not know,
he cannot think,
thus cannot will,
and accordingly cannot believe and love.
[4] . . . those who are in the spiritual affection of truth
are also in the life of charity,
for from that they have have spiritual affection.
[5] A person who is in the affection of truth from a spiritual origin
knows many more things than he knew before;
for the general knowledges that he has are like vessels
that can be filled with many things,
and they are also actually filled when he comes into heaven.
