304. WHEN THE HUMAN MIND IS IN WORLDLY THINGS, IT IS THEN, AS IT WERE, LET DOWN AND FALLS AWAY FROM THE HEAVENS I have also been taught by experience when I was being led around hither and thither through the heavens, which took place during wakefulness, that when I lapsed into thoughts about worldly things, then what I perceived in the heavenly habitation at once disappeared. So those who let their thoughts down into the world, fall away from the heavens. 1747, Dec. 5.
