113、一个人可能知道、思考并理解得很多，但当独自沉思时，他会抛弃那些与他的爱不一致的东西。因此，他的肉身生活结束后，就是当他在灵里时，他也会抛弃它们，因为只有进入他的爱之物才留在他的灵里。其余的，死后都被视为异类；并且由于它们不属于他的爱，所以他会把它们逐出门外。之所以说在人的灵里，是因为人死后作为一个灵活着。
113、人可以有很多认识、思考和理解，但是当他独自做决定和计划时，他会自动拒绝那些与他的爱不相容的事物。此生过后进入灵界时，他依然拒绝它们，因为只有进入他的爱的，才能保留在他的灵里：其它事物在身后被视为无关的，而被驱逐出去，因为它们不属于他的爱。这里说保留在灵里，因为人死后活着的是灵。
113. We can know and think and understand a great deal, but when we are left to the privacy of our own thoughts we discard anything that is not in harmony with our love. We discard such things after our physical lives as well, when we are in the spirit, since the only things that are left to us once we are in the spirit are the things that have entered into our love. After death all the rest strikes us as foreign matter that we throw out of our house because it is not part of our love. And I say "in the spirit" because we live as spirits after death.
113. We can know, think, and understand many things, but when we are thinking about them all by ourselves, we reject anything that is not in harmony with our love. We also reject these things after our life in the physical body is over, when we are living on the spiritual level. Only what has become a part of our love lasts as part of our spiritual self. After death, we consider everything else to be alien to us, and we throw it out of our house because it has nothing to do with what we love.
I say “part of our spiritual self” because after death we live as spirits.
113. A person can know, think and understand a great deal, but when he is left alone to ponder, he casts away the things which are not in harmony with his love. For that reason he also casts them away when his bodily life is over, when he is in his spirit. For only what has entered his love remains in his spirit. The rest are after death regarded as alien, and because they do not harmonise with his love they are cast out of doors. The expression 'in a person's spirit' is used because a person lives on as a spirit after death.
113. A man may know, think, and understand much; but what does not agree with his love, he casts away from himself, when meditating alone by himself. Hence also he casts off these things after the life of the body, when he is in the spirit: for that alone which has entered into a man's love, remains in his spirit; the rest is looked upon, after death, as foreign, and because it does not belong to a man's love, it is cast out of the house. It is said "in the spirit," because after death, a man lives as a spirit.
113. Man may know, think, and understand much, but when he is left to himself alone, and meditates, he rejects from himself those things which do not agree with his love; and therefore he also rejects them after the life of the body when he is in the spirit, for that only remains in the spirit of man which has entered into his love: other things after death are regarded as foreign, and because they are not of his love he casts them out. It is said in the spirit of man, because man lives a spirit after death.
113. Homo multum potest scire, cogitare et intelligere, sed illa quae non concordant cum amore ejus, rejicit a se, cum sibi soli relictus meditatur: et ideo quoque illa rejicit post vitam corporis, cum in spiritu est; nam id solum manet in spiritu hominis, quod intravit in ejus amorem cetera post mortem spectantur ut aliena, quae quia non amoris ejus sunt, ejicit domo. In spiritu hominis dicitur, quia homo vivit spiritus post mortem.
