AC 5270 - during a person's reformation

AC 5270 [2]
During his reformation
a person first learns truths from the Word or from doctrine,
and stores them up in the memory.
The person who is unable to be reformed
imagines that once he has learned truths
and stored them away in his memory
there is nothing more to be done.
But he is much mistaken. 
The truths he has acquired
must be initiated and conjoined with good;
and this cannot be done
so long as the evils of the love of self
and the love of the world remain in the natural person.
These two loves served initially
in the introduction of such truths,
but the truths cannot possibly be conjoined with them;
and therefore in order that conjunction may be effected,
the truths that have been introduced
and retained by these loves must first be banished,
though they are not really banished,
but are withdrawn to a more interior position,
with the result that they do not seem to exist,
which is why the expression
'a seeming deprivation of truth' is used.
When this has been done,
the natural is illumined from within,
and the evils of the love of self
and the love of the world give way;
and in the degree in which they give way
truths are stored up, 
and are conjoined with good.
