4741. [4746] (((((((CONCERNING THOSE WHO ARE IN INTELLECTUAL PERCEPTION, AND, AS IT WERE, IN THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN, AND YET ARE EVIL. Those who are in illusory light [lumen] are those who either suffocate, or extinguish, or pervert the light [lumen] of heaven. But there are those also who admit the light [lux] of heaven, and yet are evil [Postmaster Bunge]. They can clearly perceive how a thing is. I spoke with such a one, and it was ascertained that he acknowledged truths and discerned falses; but yet he wished to abuse that faculty, in order to rule. He was aware that he thus had communication with angels of an interior heaven, who were in the circumferences, and that thus he could be in the hells and prevail. But it was granted to tell him that such light [lux] is the light [lux] of winter, wherein objects and colorings appear just as well as in the light [lux] of summer, but all things are benumbed: also, that the sphere of his ends is such, that when it exhales to angels, it is so repugnant to them that they cannot endure it; but it is at once beaten back in order that it may subside.)))))))
