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;

[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.

Those who deny heaven or who know nothing about it do not know that there is any influx from heaven (n. 4322, 5649, 6193, 6479).

[7] Everything of life flows in from the first fountain of life, because that is the source of it; and it continually flows in thus everything of life is from the Lord (n. 3001, 3318, 3337, 3338, 3344, 3484, 3619, 3741-3743, 4318-4320, 4417, 4524, 4882, 5847, 5986, 6325, 6468-6470, 6479, 9276, 10196).
