2476. When some said that so many revelations confused their mind, I was inspired to reply that even if they were beyond number, they would not be at all confusing, but illuminating, otherwise than in the case of those who try to deduce spiritual information by gathering data. They confuse themselves so much in many ways that to them there is nothing but confusion, to the point where they believe nothing. But those who have faith and see these matters from the viewpoint of spiritual and heavenly truths, the Lord leading them, are not at all confused, but enlightened. For them, all things down to the very least are confirmatory, as I also have seen by a spiritual mental image, so that I perceived the truth of the matter.
