1026. Moreover, such things cannot be softened, as it were, unless truths are fully disclosed; because falsities induce hardness, but truths dissolve, and induce what is soft and fluid. For through truths all things flow into their own proper gyres, but falsities arrest them, and induce the quality of coldness, density, and heaviness. This can be known in the case of natural things, where determinations [of activities] alone produce forms, both those that are hard, cold, heavy, and those that are soft, warm and light.
