1024. Outward hardenings pertain to the physical and earthly, or outward, elements of a person. These make up a kind of skull with its hairy scalp. The inward ones have to do with the inward falsities acquired through a person's inward thoughts. These falsities harden into such crusts. Those hardening the skull are earthly falsities, those hardening the medulla, spiritual ones.
