As the perceptive faculty decreased, and from being more particular or distinct, became more general or obscure, so also did the life of love or of uses; for as is the life of love or of uses, so is the perceptive faculty. From good to know truth is celestial; the life of those who constituted the church called “Mahalalel” was such that they preferred the delight from truths to the delight from uses, as has been given me to know by experience among their like in the other life.
