1428. When I spoke with them through inner sensation, they perceived more than I did, and I told them by inward sensation that such [opposites] must absolutely exist, because the Lord has arranged and arranges everything in this way, so that nothing whatever is lacking, and no more perfect order is possible, and that thus this was necessary so that people may live-and this I expressed more fully than I have done here, because inward sensation brings with it this ability. Then they said that to know only this is enough, and they were amazed, because this came from the Lord.
