2073. This shows what the mental images are like of those who mingle falsities with truths, and profanities with holy matters, for whatever is in the mental image is at once called forth, thus profanity in something holy, which horrifies good spirits and angels, and falsities in truths. For most of the content of the mental imagery is called forth, whereupon evil spirits defile it even more, making it appear entirely wicked, so that good spirits and angels flee from the sight of such an image. For they are gifted with the ability to look right into every single mental image and to see its quality, and hence they are enabled to know what a person, or what a soul, is like. 1748, 25 May.
