I was inspired to say that to those immersed in falsity, truths look like falsities when they are convinced that their falsity is a truth. This was shown instantaneously by actual experience, and in fact by a general mental image of truths, which appeared to one who had a false idea that he thought to be true, as mere falsities. And besides, I was shown by a spiritual mental image that truths cannot possibly enter into the aura of such people, but are either considered as mere falsities, or as mere theories. 1748, 11 Aug.
