Napsal(a) Jonathan S. Rose
Title: The Laver and Purification
Topic: Salvation
Summary: Before we are reborn, our outer self is a liability and a cause of problems. Afterwards it is an asset because it functions as a filter for purifying our spirit. This explains why we find so much junk in it sometimes!

Arcana Coelestia # 3789
3789. 'And they have rolled the stone from over the mouth of the well' means that in this way things of the Word are disclosed. This is clear from the meaning of 'rolling the stone' as disclosing, dealt with in 3769, 3771, 3773, and from the meaning of 'a well' as the Word, dealt with in 3424, 3765.
