10746. The fact that such things are the delights of their life is unknown to most people while living in the world, because those things are concealed in self-love and love of the world, and everything then which is in agreement with those delights they call good, and everything which endorses them they call true. Nor do they know or acknowledge anything else to be good and true, because they have closed heaven against themselves and receive nothing from there.
