conquers, since he then compels himself more
interiorly to resist, although it appears otherwise (n.
1937, 1947, 2881).

[4] Infernal freedom consists in being led by the loves of
self and of the world and their lusts (n. 2870, 2873).

Those who are in hell know no other freedom (n. 2871).

Heavenly freedom is as far removed from infernal freedom
as heaven is from hell (n. 2873, 2874).

Infernal freedom, which consists in being led by the loves
of self and of the world, is not freedom but servitude (n.
2884, 2890).

For servitude is in being led by hell (n. 9586,
9589-9591).

INFLUX.

[5] All things that man thinks and wills flow into him
from experience (n. 904, 2886-2888, 4151, 4319, 4320,
5846, 5848, 6189, 6191, 6194, 6197-6199, 6213, 7147,
10219).

Man's capacity to give attention to subjects, to think,
and to draw conclusions analytically, is from influx (n.
4319, 4320, 5288).

Man could not live a single moment if influx from the
spiritual world were taken away from him; from experience
(n. 2887, 5849, 5854, 6321).

The life that flows in from the Lord varies in accordance
with the state of man and in accordance with reception (n.
2069, 5986, 6472, 7343).

With those who are evil the good that flows in from the
Lord is changed into evil, and the truth into falsity;
from experience (n. 3642, 4632).

The good and truth that continually flow in from the Lord
are received just to the extent that they are not hindered
by evil and falsity (n. 2411, 3142, 3147, 5828).

[6] All good flows in from the Lord, and all evil from
hell (n. 904, 4151).

At the present day man believes that all things are in
himself and are from himself, when in fact they flow in;
and this he might know from the doctrine of the church,
which teaches that all good is from God, and all evil from
the devil (n. 4249, 6193, 6206).

But if man's belief were in accord with this doctrine he
would not appropriate evil to himself nor would he make
good to be his own (n. 6206, 6324, 6325).

How happy man's state would be if he believed that all
good flows in from the Lord and all evil from hell. (n.
6325).

Those who deny heaven or who know nothing about it do not
know that there is any influx from heaven
