3209. The intellect can grasp or understand what is internal, or more inward than itself, but cannot enter it

By a spiritual mental image I grasped that the rational and intellectual faculty can in no wise enter into those things that are more inward than itself, but still can know and understand that they exist, and their quality. 1748, 20 Sept.
