Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 7589

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7589. I have sinned this time. That this signifies separation from truth and good, is evident from the signification of "sinning," as being a sundering and turning away from the Divine, thus from truth and good (see n. 5229, 5474, 5841); consequently also separation, for he who turns himself away from truth and good, separates himself from them.
