478. As to what has been said about phantasies, it is to be understood that they are put off with resistance, that is, the grosser phantasies which are of the body, and the natural ones which are of the soul; but the interior phantasies which are conformable, and thus concordant with truly heavenly verity and goodness, remain. Hence man lives as if from himself, with heavenly joy and gladness, and this is the "rainbow", concerning which see Genesis [chapter IX], the conformation of which is effected and formed by Jesus Christ alone. 1748, Jan. 15.
