Spiritual Experiences #5836
5836. Continuation
I spoke with a certain woman who believed herself to be intelligent because she knew how to talk about some kinds of moral and civil matters as if she were intelligent. But it was perceived and said that this nevertheless was not her intelligence, because when she learned these things, she drew them from those whom she believed to be intelligent or also from books. Admiration for the intelligence [she drew] from these gave the idea that she too spoke from intelligence, but yet she was not.
