And, in addition, interior falsified truth, with the man capable of regeneration, which communicates with genuine truth externally, desires also to pervert that truth, by insinuating that, since the falsified doctrines of the corrupted church are unanimous in declaring that good can be promoted from self-love, genuine truth should agree therewith.

113. Through a good deal of experience I have been given to know that the Word is the means by which a person has a communication with heaven. When I read the Word from the first chapter of Isaiah to the last chapter of Malachi, and the Psalms of David, I was given to clearly perceive that each verse communicated with some society in heaven, and so the whole Word with the whole of heaven.
