Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8216

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8216. 'And made them drive heavily' means resistance and lack of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'wheels' as the power to advance falsities, dealt with immediately above in 8215, so that 'making them drive heavily' means being hindered by resistance, and therefore means lack of power.
