140、关于感知。感知是指通过来自主的流注看见真理和良善（202，895，7680，9128节）。感知只在那些拥有来自主的对主之爱的良善之人身上才能找到（202，371，1442，5228节）。感知可在天堂里的人身上找到，他们活在世上时将来自圣言的教会教义直接用于生活，而不是先存储在记忆中；因此，他们心智的内层是为接受神性流注而形成的；结果，在天堂，他们的理解力不断进入越来越大的光照之中（104，495，503，521，536，1616，5145节）。他们知道无数事物，并具有不可估量的智慧（2718，9543节）。那些拥有感知的人不会推理信之真理，他们若进行推理，就会丧失他们的感知力（586，1385，5937节）。那些以为他们从自己知道并变得智慧的人不可能有感知（1386节）。学者不明白这种感知是什么，包括亲眼见证的经历（1387节）。
那些在主的属天国度的人拥有感知；但那些在属灵国度的人没有感知，而是拥有良心（805，2144，2145，8081节）。在主的属天国度的人不像在主的属灵国度的人那样出于信来思考，因为在属天国度的人从主获得感知信的一切事物的能力（202，597，607，784，1121，1387，1398，1442，1919，7877，8780节）。因此，论到信之真理，属天天使只会说“是，是”，或“不，不”，因为他们感知并看见它们；而属灵天使则推理信之真理，推理某事是否如此（2715，3246，4448，9166，10786节）；这些章节解释了主的话：
你们的话，是，就说是；不是，就说不是；若再多说，就是出于那恶者。（马太福音5:37）
属天天使因出于感知知道真理，故甚至不愿说“信”这个词（202，337节）。属天天使和属灵天使之间的区别（2088，2669，2708，2715，3235，3240，4788，8521，9277，10295节）。关于上古教会之人的感知，上古教会是一个属天教会（125，597，607，784，895，1121，5121节）。
有内在感知和外在感知（2145，2171，2831，5920节）。世上有对公义和公平的感知，但很少有对属灵真理和良善的感知（2831，5937，7977节）。感知之光完全不同于确认之光；确认之光在一些人看来似乎是感知，实际上并不是（8521，8780节）。
140、关于知觉。知觉在于通过主的灵流看见何为真理与何为良善的 （202，895，7680，9128）。知觉仅给予那些对主有爱的良善的人，这爱的良善来自主 （202，371，1442，5228）。知觉给予那些同时生活在天堂和人间的人，那些人把来自圣言的教会教义立刻融入生活中，没有把它们先存在记忆里。因此他们的心灵内在是为接受神性灵流而造的，因而在天堂他们的认知不断受到启发（104，495，503，521，536，1616，1791，5145）。他们知识渊博，他们的才智不可测度 （2718，9543）。
有知觉的人不对信仰真理进行推理，如果他们推理，他们的知觉将会消失（586，1398，5897）。那些相信他们是通过他们自己去了解和变得明智的人不能拥有知觉（1386）。博学者通过经历不理解这种知觉是什么 （1387）。
主的属天国度里的天使有知觉；但是主的属灵国度里的天使没有知觉，但以良心取而代之（805，2144，2145，8081）。主的属天国度里的天使不是通过信仰去思考，就像主的属灵国度里的那些人那样，因为属天国度里的人是通过主去知觉一切信仰事物（202，597，607，784，1121，1387，1398，1442，1919，7680，7877，8780）。因此属天天使对信仰真理只会说，是的，是，或不是，不，因为他们知觉和看到它们。但是属灵天使对信仰真理进行推理，即一个事物是这样或不是这样（2715，3246，4448，9166，10786）。主的圣言在这里被解释为：
你们的话，是，就说是；不是，就说不是；若再多少，就是出于那恶者（马太福音5:37）
因为通过知觉知道信仰真理，所以属天天使甚至不愿提到信仰（202，337）。属天天使和属灵天使的区别（2088，2669，2708-2715，3235，3240，4788，7068，8521，9277，10295）。属于最古老教会即一个属天教会的那些人的知觉（125，597，607，784，895，1121，5121）。
有内在知觉和外在知觉（2145，2171，2831，5920）。在世间，有一个关于什么是公正和公平的知觉，但是很少有一个关于属灵真理和属灵良善的知觉（2831，5937，7977）。知觉之光是完全不同于确证之光的；知觉之光也不像它，尽管对一些人来说它可能看上去像（8521，8780）。
140. Perception.
Perception is seeing what is true and good by means of an inflow from the Lord: 202, 895, 7680, 9128. Perception is found only in people who have a love for the Lord that comes from the Lord and who devote their lives to doing good: 202, 371, 1442, 5228. Perception is found in those in heaven who, while they were living in this world, took the church's teachings from the Word and immediately put them into action in their daily lives instead of first storing them away in their memory. Therefore the deeper levels of their minds were formed to accept inflow from the Divine, with the result that in heaven their understanding is continually coming into greater and greater enlightenment: 104, 495, 503, 521, 536, 1616, 5145. They know countless things and are immensely wise: 2718, 9543. People who have perception do not resort to logical argumentation to identify the truths that belong to religious faith, and if they were to use that sort of argumentation, they would lose their perceptiveness: 586, 1385, 5937. If we believe that we are wise and knowledgeable on our own, we cannot have perception: 1386. Scholars have no idea what this kind of perception is: 1387 (which includes evidence from eyewitness experience).
The people who are in the Lord's heavenly kingdom have perception, but the people who are in the spiritual kingdom do not have perception; instead, they have conscience: 805, 2144, 2145, 8081. The people of the Lord's heavenly kingdom do not base their thinking on faith the way the people of the Lord's spiritual kingdom do, because the people of the heavenly kingdom receive from the Lord the ability to perceive everything belonging to faith: 202, 597, 607, 784, 1121, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 7877, 8780. As a result, all that the heavenly angels say about the truths that belong to religious faith is "Yes, yes," or "No, no," because they perceive and see them; but spiritual angels have to use their reason to determine whether the truths taught by their religious faith are actually true or not: 2715, 3246, 4448, 9166, 10786 (these passages explain the Lord's words "Let your communication be ‘Yes, yes; no, no. ' Whatever is more than these comes from evil" [Matthew 5:37]). Because heavenly angels have this higher perception that allows them to recognize which truths to believe, they do not even like to say the word "faith": 202, 337. The difference between heavenly angels spiritual angels: 2088, 2669, 2708, 2715, 3235, 3240, 4788, 8521, 9277, 10295. On the perception of the people of the earliest church, which was a heavenly church: 125, 597, 607, 784, 895, 1121, 5121.
There are deeper and shallower levels of perception: 2145, 2171, 2831, 5920. Sometimes people in this world have a perception of what is upright and equitable; they rarely have a perception of what is spiritually good or true: 2831, 5937, 7977. The light of perception is radically different from the light of conviction; the light of conviction may seem like perception to some people, but in fact it is not: 8521, 8780.
140. Not translated.
140. Concerning Perception. Perception consists in seeing by influx from the Lord what is true and good, Arcana Coelestia 202, 895, 7680, 9128. Perception exists only with those who are in the good of love from the Lord to the Lord, Arcana Coelestia 202, 371, 1442, 5228. Perception exists in heaven with those, by whom, while they lived as men in the world, the doctrinals of the Church which are from the Word, were applied immediately to the life, and were not first committed to the memory; the interiors of their minds were thus formed for the reception of the influx of the Divine; and for this reason their understandings are in a continual state of enlightenment in heaven, Arcana Coelestia 104, 495, 503, 521, 536, 1616, 1791, 5145. They know innumerable things, and their wisdom is unbounded, Arcana Coelestia 2718, 9543. Those who are in perception, do not reason concerning the truths of faith, and should they reason their perception would perish, Arcana Coelestia 586, 1398, 5897. Those who believe that they know and are wise from themselves, cannot have any perception, Arcana Coelestia 1386. The learned are unable to comprehend what this perception is; from experience, Arcana Coelestia 1387.
Those who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom, have perception; but those who are in the spiritual kingdom, have no perception, but conscience instead, Arcana Coelestia 805, 2144, 2145, 8081. Those who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom do not think from faith, like those who are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom, because those who are in the celestial kingdom are in the perception from the Lord of all things of faith, Arcana Coelestia 202, 597, 607, 784, 1121, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 7680, 7877, 8780. Wherefore the celestial angels say concerning the truths of faith, only Yea, yea, or Nay, nay, because they perceive and see them; but the spiritual angels reason concerning the truths of faith, whether they are so, or not, Arcana Coelestia 2715, 3246, 4448, 9166, 10786; where the words of the Lord are explained (Matthew 5:37), "Let your communication be Yea, yea, Nay, nay: what is more than these, cometh from evil." Because the celestial angels know the truths of faith from perception, they are not even willing to mention faith, Arcana Coelestia 202, 337. The distinction between the celestial and the spiritual angels, Arcana Coelestia 2088, 2669, 2708, 2715, 3235, 3240, 4788, 7068, 8521, 9277, 10295. Concerning the perception of those who belonged to the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial Church, Arcana Coelestia 125, 597, 607, 784, 895, 1121, 5121.
There is interior and exterior perception, Arcana Coelestia 2145, 2171, 2831, 5920. In the world there is a perception of what is just and fair, but rarely a perception of spiritual truth and good, Arcana Coelestia 2831, 5937, 7977. The light of perception is altogether different from the light of confirmation; and is not like it, although to some it may appear as if it were, Arcana Coelestia 8521, 8780.
140. Of Perception.
Perception consists in seeing what is true and good by influx from the Lord (n. 202, 895, 7680, 9128). Perception is given only with those who are in the good of love from the Lord to the Lord (n. 202, 371, 1442, 5228). Perception is given with those in heaven who, whilst they lived in the world, brought the doctrinals of the church which are from the Word immediately into the life, and who did not first commit them to memory; thus the interiors of their minds were formed to the reception of the Divine influx; and thence their understanding is in heaven in continual enlightenment (n. 104, 495, 503, 521, 536, 1616, 1791, 5145). They know innumerable things, and are wise beyond measure (n. 2718, 9543). They who are in perception, do not reason concerning the truths of faith, and if they reasoned their perception would perish (n. 586, 1398, 5897). They who believe that they know and are wise from themselves, cannot have perception (n. 1386). The learned do not comprehend what this perception is, from experience (n. 1387).
They who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom, have perception; but they who are in the spiritual kingdom, have no perception, but conscience in its place (n. 805, 2144, 2145, 8081). They who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom do not think from faith, like those in the Lord's spiritual kingdom, because they who are in the celestial kingdom are in perception from the Lord of all things of faith (n. 202, 597, 607, 784, 1121, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 7680, 7877, 8780). Wherefore the celestial angels say concerning the truths of faith only, Yea, yea, or Nay, nay, because they perceive them and see them; but the spiritual angels reason concerning the truths of faith, whether a thing be so or not (n. 2715, 3246, 4448, 9166, 10786); where the words of the Lord are explained:
Let your discourse be Yea, yea, Nay, nay: what is beyond these is from evil (Matt. 5:37).
The celestial angels, because they know the truths of faith from perception, are not even willing to name faith (n. 202, 337). The distinction between the celestial angels and the spiritual angels (n. 2088, 2669, 2708-2715, 3235, 3240, 4788, 7068, 8521, 9277, 10295). Of the perception of those who were of the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial church (n. 125, 597, 607, 784, 895, 1121, 5121).
There is interior and exterior perception (n. 2145, 2171, 2831, 5920). There is in the world a perception of what is just and equitable, but rarely a perception of spiritual truth and good (n. 2831, 5937, 7977). The light of perception is altogether different from the light of confirmation; and it is not like it, although it may appear so to some persons (n. 8521, 8780).
140. De Perceptione.
Quod perceptio sit videre quid verum et bonum per influxum a Domino (Arcana Coelestia 202, 895, 7680, 9128).
Quod perceptio solum detur apud illos qui in bono amoris a Domino in Dominum sunt (Arcana Coelestia 202, 371, 1442, 5227, [5228?],).
Quod perceptio detur apud illos in caelo, qui, cum vixerunt homines in mundo, doctrinalia ecclesiae quae ex Verbo statim immiserunt in vitam, et non prius mandaverunt memoriae; quod sic interiora quae mentis eorum formata sint ad receptionem influxus Divini; et quod ideo intellectus eorum in caelo sit in illustratione continue (Arcana Coelestia 104, 495, 503, 521, 536, 1616, 1791, 5145).
Quod innumerabilia sciant, ac immensum sapiant (Arcana Coelestia 2718, 9543).
Quod illi qui in perceptione sunt, non ratiocinentur de veris dei; et si ratiocinarentur, quod illis periret perceptio (Arcana Coelestia 585, [586?], 1398, 5897).
Qui credunt ex semet scire et sapere, quod perceptionem habere non possint (Arcana Coelestia 1386).
Quod eruditi non capiant quid haec perceptio (ab experientia, Arcana Coelestia 1387).
Quod illi qui in regno caelesti Domini sunt, habeant perceptionem: illi autem qui in regno spirituali sunt, non habeant perceptionem, sed loco ejus, conscientiam (Arcana Coelestia 805, 2144, 2155 (2145, 2157?) 8081).
Quod illi qui [in] regno caelesti Domini sunt, non cogitent ex fide, quemadmodum illi qui in regno spirituali Domini sunt, quoniam illi qui in regno caelesti sunt, in perceptione omnium quae fidei sunt a domino (Arcana Coelestia 202, 597, 607, 784, 1121, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 7680, 7877, 8780).
Quapropter angeli caelestes de veris fidei dicunt modo, Ita ita, Non non, quia percipiunt illa ac vident illa; at angeli spirituales de veris fidei ratiocinantur num ita sit, vel non ita (Arcana Coelestia 2715, 3246, 4448, 9166, 10786; ubi explicantur Domini verba,
"Esto..Sermo vester, Ita ita, Non non; quod ultra haec est, ex malo est" (Matthaeus 5:37).
Quod angeli caelestes, quia ex perceptione sciunt vera fidei, ne quidem nominare velint fidem (Arcana Coelestia 202, 337).
Discrimen inter angelos caelestes et angelos spirituales (Arcana Coelestia 2088, 2669, 2708, 2715, 3235, 3240, 4788, 7068, 8521, 9277, 10295).
De perceptione eorum qui fuerunt ab Ecclesia Antiquissima, quae fuit ecclesia caelestis (Arcana Coelestia 125, 597, 607, 784, 895, 1121, 5121).
Quod detur perceptio interior et exterior (Arcana Coelestia 2145, 2171, 2831, 5920).
Quod detur in mundo perceptio justi et aequi, sed raro perceptio veri et boni spiritualis (Arcana Coelestia 2831, 5937, 7977).
Quod lux perceptionis prorsus alia sit quam lux confirmationis, et quod non similis sit, tametsi quibusdam apparere possit sicut similis (Arcana Coelestia 8521, 8780).
