Arcana Coelestia #5269

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

5269. 'And the seven empty heads of grain, scorched by an east wind' means a state when falsity attacking the exterior natural is multiplied. This is clear from the meaning of 'heads' as facts that are truths known to the exterior natural, dealt with above in 5266, and so in the contrary sense as falsities there, 5202-5204. For the meaning of 'empty' and 'scorched by an east wind' see above.
