Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10464

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

10464. 'And ground it up till it was powder' means the hellish falsity resulting from it. This is clear from the meaning of 'grinding up into powder', or into the tiniest parts, as producing falsity out of hellish delight, thus producing hellish falsity. The fact that 'grinding up', when it has reference to what is evil, has this meaning, becomes clear from what has been shown in 4335, 9995(end), 10303.
