3329. The reason, as I now realize, is that when the auras of the outer senses, such as the spirits of our earth reflect them, sense the aura of reason, thus of the spirits who reflect reason, the former cannot bear them. There is a natural enmity when the outer senses are such, or when man or spirit is such, that they believe nothing but what they perceive with the outer senses, as may be well known. All here harbor a similar enmity toward reason, but they do not realize it except during temptations, because the reason yields as it were from afar, and the irrational takes over with its fantasies, to which they are joined. 1748, 25 Sept.
