21. Concerning those who are in falsities from evil, and those who are in falsities not from evil; thus, concerning falsities from evil, and falsities not from evil. There are innumerable kinds of falsity, as many, indeed, as there are evils; and the origins of evils and the falsities from them are many, nos. 1188, 1212, 4729, 4822, 7574. There is the falsity from evil, that is, the falsity of evil; and there is the evil from falsity, that is, the evil of the false, and again a falsity from it, thus derivatively, nos. 1679, 2243. From one falsity, especially if it is in the place of a principle, falsities flow in a continuous series, nos. 1510, 1511, 4717, 4721. There is a falsity from the lusts of the love of self and of the world; and there is a falsity from the fallacies of the senses, nos. 1295, 4729. There are falsities of religion, and there are falsities of ignorance, nos. 4729, 8318, 9258. There is a falsity in which is good, and a falsity which there is no good, nos. 2863, 9304, 10109, 10302. There is what has been falsified, nos. 7318, 7319, 10648. Every evil has a falsity with it, nos. 7577, 8094. The falsity from the lusts of the love of self is the falsity itself of evil; and from it are the worst kinds of falsities, no. 4729. Evil is heavy, and of its own accord lapses into hell; but not so falsity, unless it is from evil, nos. 8279, 8298. Good is turned into evil, and truth into falsity, when it lapses from heaven into hell, because it then passes as it were into a gross and impure atmosphere, no. 3607. Falsities from evil appear as mists, and as foul waters above the hells, nos. 8137, 8138, 8146. They who are in the hells speak falsities from evil, nos. 1695, 7351, 7352, 7357, 7392, 7689. They who are in evil cannot but think what is false, when they think from themselves, no. 7437. Additional statements about the evil of falsity, nos. 2408, 4818, 7272, 8265, 8279; and about the falsity of evil, nos. 6359, 7272, 9304, 10302. Every falsity may be confirmed, and when confirmed appears as a truth, nos. 5033, 6865, 8521, 8780. Wherefore before a thing is confirmed, it ought first to be examined whether it is true, nos. 4741, 7012, 7680, 7950, 8521. Care ought to be taken lest falsities of religion be confirmed; because there arises thence a persuasion of the false, which remains with man after death, nos. 845, 8780. How pernicious the persuasion of the false is, nos. 794, 806, 5096, 7686. Good cannot flow into truths so long as a man is in evil, no. 2434. Goods and truths are removed from a man in the same proportion in which he is in evil, and in the falsities from it, no. 3402. Great care is taken by the Lord lest truth be conjoined to evil, and the falsity of evil to good, nos. 3110, 3116, 4416, 5217. Profanation arises from such a commingling, no. 6348. Truths exterminate falsities, and falsities truths, no. 5207. Truths cannot be received inwardly, so long as unbelief prevails, no. 3399. How truth may be falsified, from examples, no. 7318. The wicked are permitted to falsify truths, reasons why, no. 7332. Truths are falsified by the wicked, by being applied, and thus drawn down, to evil, nos. 8094, 8149. Truth is said to be falsified when it is applied to evil, which is done chiefly through fallacies and appearances among outward things, nos. 7344, 8602. The wicked are allowed to assault truth, but not good, because they can falsify truth by various interpretations and applications, no. 6677. Truth falsified from evil is opposed to truth and good, no. 8062. Truth falsified from evil stinks fearfully in the other life, no. 7319. Additional statements concerning the falsification of truth, no. 7318, 7319, 10648. There are falsities of religion which agree with good, and there are such as disagree, no. 9259. If falsities of religion do not disagree with good, they do not produce evil, except with those who are in evil, no. 8318. Falsities of religion are not imputed to those who are in good, but to those who are in evil, nos. 8051, 8149. Truths which are not genuine, and likewise falsities, may be associated with genuine truths with those who are in good, but not with those who are in evil, nos. 3470, 3471, 4551, 4552, 7344, 8149, 9298. Falsities and truths are associated by means of appearances from the literal sense of the Word, no. 7344. Falsities are made true by good, and become soft, because they are applied to and drawn towards good, and evil is removed, no. 8149. Falsities of religion with those who are in good, are accepted by the Lord as truths, nos. 4736, 8149. Good which has its quality from the falsity of religion, is accepted by the Lord, if there is ignorance, and in it innocence, and a good end, no. 7887. Truths with a man are appearances of truth and good, imbued with fallacies; with the man who lives in good, the Lord nevertheless adapts these to genuine truths, no. 2053. Falsities in which there is good have place with those who are outside the Church, and therefore in ignorance of the truth; and they are also with those who are within the Church, where there are falsities of doctrine, nos. 2589, 2604, 2861, 2863, 3263, 3778, 4189, 4190, 4197, 6700, 9256. Falsities in which there is not good are more grievous with those who are within than with those who are without the Church, no. 7688. Truths and goods are taken away from the wicked in the other life, and given to the good, according to the Lord's words, To him that hath shall be given that he may have abundance; and from him that hath not shall be taken away that which he hath, no. 7770.
