(210) 'Extreme Delusion is ten-fold". By Extreme Delusion is meant the attachment to the Ten of Extreme objects of sense, sound, odour and the rest— which are ten-fold, each of the five being earthly and heavenly; and having these ten for its object, Extreme Delusion is said to be ten fold.

(211) Gloom", 1. e, Hatred,
is eighteen-fold." The ten objects of sense, sound, &c are loveable by themselves; the eight occult 'powers-Attenuation &c., however are not lovcable, by themselves, but only as means to the attainment, of the various objects of sense. And the objects of sense, being mutually suppressive, the means to the attainment,-in the shape of Attenuation and the other Powers also become obstructed. So that the eight Powers together with the ten objects of sense become eighteen, and these being the objects of Gloom or Hatred, make it eighteen fold.
