232. [235.] 95. That an affection or love has impressed on it conceptions of truth, so that the very affection engenders them as concepts known to it, for it sees things consonant or in harmony with it.... For some people possess a faculty for confirming. Consequently, if the affection is a good one-which becomes good by life-it immediately has impressed on it concepts supporting it, and it perceives those things when it hears or sees them because of the similar and analogous elements in itself. This therefore is a characteristic of love. But one who is caught up in faith alone and prompted by love of self or the world is incapable of being affected by anything other than what accords with his love, than what has been impressed on his love, and what is contrary to truths of faith, namely, that God is to be loved above oneself, and heaven above the world, that the good of the neighbor is to be loved, and every useful endeavor in service to the neighbor, and the like. Truths of faith are then rejected, which is also the case after death, and those notions remain which are matters of the love or of the will.
