7406. 'And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses' means that it was so done according to the Lord's word, for although what Moses pleaded for came out of the mouth of Moses it nevertheless originated with the Lord. For whatever a person thinks and then speaks, and whatever he wills and then does, flows into him. A person is merely a receiving organ, see 6189-6215, 6307, 6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6606, 6613-6626; and so was Moses in the things that he spoke and did. This is why what is said here - 'Jehovah did according to the word of Moses' - means that it was so done in accordance with the Lord's word, Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905.

6307. INFLUX AND THE INTERACTION OF SOUL AND BODY - continued

Experience extending over many years now has allowed me to know about the existence of influx from the spiritual world by way of angels and spirits into people's affections and thoughts, to know it so plainly that nothing could be plainer. I have been made aware of it as an inflowing not merely into thoughts but also into affections. Whenever evil and falsity have flowed in I have been allowed to know which hells they came from, and whenever goodness and truth have flowed in to know which angels they came from. Experience has made me so familiar with all this that at last I have been able to know where every specific aspect of my thoughts and affections originated. Yet my thoughts have been just like those I had before.
