9299. 'And the fat of My feast shall not remain through the night until morning' means the good of worship, which does not originate in the self but comes from the Lord and is always new. This is clear from the meaning of 'remaining through the night' as that which originates in the self, for 'the night' in the Word means evil and falsity, 221, 709, 6000, 7776, 7851, 7870, 7947, thus also the self since the human self or proprium is nothing other than evil and falsity, 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1023, 1044, 4328, 5660, 5786, 8480; from the meaning of 'the fat' as the good of love, dealt with in 353, 5943, at this point the good of love present in worship since the words that are used are 'the fat of [My] feast' and worship is meant by 'a feast', 9286, 9287, 9294; and from the meaning of 'morning' as the Lord and His coming, as becomes clear from what has been shown regarding 'the morning' in 2405, 2780, 5962, 8426, 8427, 8812, so that 'the morning' here, where the good of worship originating not in the self is referred to, means that which comes from the Lord and is always new.

210. What is the proprium? The human proprium consists of everything evil and false that gushes out of self-love and love of the world. It involves people believing not in the Lord or in the Word but in themselves, and their imagining that what they do not grasp through sensory evidence or through facts does not exist at all. They become as a consequence nothing but evil and falsity and so have a warped view of everything. Things that are evil they see as good, and those that are good as evil; things that are false they see as true, and those that are true as false. Realities they imagine to be nothing, and things that are nothing they imagine to be everything. They call hatred love, thick darkness light, death life, and vice versa. In the Word such people are called 'the lame and the blind'. This then is the human proprium which in itself is hellish and condemned.
