Deuteronomy 22:27

Verse 27. For the soul was in an external condition when it was conjoined to the false, and it sought the truth but was not able to find it. [Note (verses 23-24).—Thus if falsities are received in the soul by the will, or because they are loved; against the light which is present in the mind, from truths which have been accepted and believed; grievous evil is committed, and the soul can only be brought back by inversion of the will; but if (verses 25-27) the mind fall into falsities through ignorance and inability to see what is true, and not from the love of them; the evil is light and easily removed. (See also Apocalypse Explained 863; John 9:41.)]
