7490. It is also evident that insofar as a man is in the loves of self and of the world, so far he does not know what charity is, until at last he does not know that it exists; also that so far the man does not know what faith is, until at last he does not know that it is anything; and that so far the man does not know what conscience is, until at last he does not know that it exists; nay, that so far the man does not know what the spiritual is, nor what the life of heaven; and finally that he does not believe there is a heaven and a hell; consequently he does not believe that there is a life after death. These are the effects of the loves of self and of the world when they reign.

He is to the same extent unconscious of what conscience is, as well, till at length he is not aware of its existence. Indeed he is to that same extent unaware of what the spiritual is, and so of what the life of heaven is. Finally, it is evident that he has no belief in the existence of heaven or in the existence of hell, and consequently has no belief in the existence of life after death. These are the things that self-love and love of the world bring about when they reign.

7490. Patet etiam quod quantum homo in amoribus sui et mundi est, tantum non sciat quid charitas, usque tandem ut non sciat quod sit. Etiam quod homo tantum non sciat quid fides, usque tandem ut non sciat quod sit aliquid. {1}Ut et, quod homo tantum non sciat quid conscientia, usque tandem ut non sciat quod sit. Immo, quod homo tantum non sciat quid spirituale, ita nec quid vita caeli. Et demum, quod non credat dari caelum et dari infernum; proinde non credat dari vitam post mortem. Haec faciunt amores sui et mundi cum regnant. @1 Etiam A Ut est I$
