AC 6952 - Look Up!

AC 6952 [6]
For the interior parts of the human mind
together with sensory levels
are raised upwards by the Lord
when a person is governed by the good of faith and charity.
But if he is governed by evil and falsity,
then the interior parts
together with the sensory levels
look downwards and so solely to things in the world.

The person who looks downwards
wills what is evil and thinks what is false,
but one whom the Lord raises upwards
wills what is good and thinks what is true.
A raising by the Lord
does in actual fact take place
and therefore a removal from evils and falsities.
Angels have the actual feeling of being raised up;
it is like the force
drawing things towards the center of attraction,
the center being where the Lord is within His Sun.
