193. [195.] 56. Concerning one who has fought against evils and has come into a love for good and truth from the Lord, that he possesses concepts of truth and good as though of himself, that he sees them in himself, and that they are engraved on his heart, as said in Isaiah and Jeremiah....* At that point his rational faculty is enlightened. Prior to that, however, he does not know those things except as matters of memory, and does not see them except outwardly; and if a person does not see them inwardly they are dry and pass away, that is to say, the life in the truths does; for all elements of truth are engraved on some love, as all things that are of use are on the bodily affection of animals, such as bees, birds, and other creatures. So it is with a person, too, if he possesses a genuine love for truth and good. It is in consequence of this that angels have their wisdom. * See Isaiah 32:4, 51:7; Jeremiah 31:33.
