304. When the human mind is absorbed in worldly concerns, it is as though it is let down, and falls from the heavens.

I have also learned through Experience, when I was being led around in the heavens here and there, which took place during a time of wakefulness, that when I lapsed into thoughts about worldly matters, then what I had seen in the heavenly habitation at once disappeared. So those who let their thoughts drop into the world, fall from the heavens. 1747, the 5th day of December.
