490.这两个童声唱诗班所作的这些赞美诗不会受幻想干扰。有一个自我吹嘘、充满幻想的灵人想要干扰他们，但他的幻想似乎无济于事，如同无有。我由此推断出幻想是如何流入属灵和属天事物，因而流入天使的事物的：因为它们太粗俗了，以至于不能带来任何变化。就好像某种沉重的东西想要进入微妙精纯之物，或最终结果进入初始，或身体进入灵魂。这完全是矛盾的，如人类哲学所熟知的那样。因此，肉体和尘世之物无法进入真正的属灵和属天之物。（1748年1月18日）
490. Those hymns which the two childlike choirs composed, could not be disturbed by fantasies. There was one boastful spirit trying to disturb them, but the fantasies were as nothing. From this I was able to infer what influence fantasies have upon spiritual and heavenly, or angelic elements: they are too gross to be able to bring about any change. It would be as though what is gross tried to enter into what is refined, or the final outcome into the beginnings, or the body into the soul. This, as human philosophy well enough knows, is a contradiction. Similarly, bodily and earthly elements cannot enter into truly spiritual and heavenly ones. 1748, the 18th day of January.
490. Those hymns which two infantile choirs formed could not be disturbed by phantasies. A certain phantastic spirit wanted to disturb them, but his phantasies were as if of no account, so that I could thence conclude what influx phantasies have into spiritual and celestial and thus into angelic things: for they are too gross to operate any alteration, and it was as though something heavy wanted to flow into that which is subtle, or an effect into its principles, or as the body into the soul, which is altogether contradictory, as human philosophy can well know. Thus things corporeal and natural cannot enter into those that are truly spiritual and celestial. 1748, Jan. 18.
490. Hymni isti, quos bini chori infantiles formabant, non potuerunt disturbari a phantasiis, quidam phantasta 1
{a} spiritus, voluit eos turbare, sed phantasiae erant sicut nihili, sic quid influxus habeant phantasiae in spiritualia et coelestia, sic in angelica, inde concludere potui: sunt enim crassiora, quam ut aliquam alterationem operari potuissent, ac foret sicut crassum influere vellet in id quod subtile est, seu effectus in principia, aut sicut corpus in animam, quod prorsus contradictorium est, sicut philosophia humana bene nosse potest: sic corporea et naturalia non possunt intrare in vere spiritualia et coelestia. 1748, die 18 Jan.
