True religious concepts are the actual vessels that receive
goodness, and they receive goodness so far as we move
away from evil. What is good is always streaming into us
from the Lord, but what is evil in our lives keeps it from
being received in the truth we memorize or know. So the
more we back away from evil, the more goodness enters
into us and adapts to the truth we have.
—Secrets of Heaven 2388:2
