6189. INFLUX AND THE INTERACTION OF SOUL AND BODY - continued

The sections at the ends of Chapters 44, 45 showed that two angels from heaven and two spirits from hell are present with a person and that their presence gives him a communication with both places, as well as giving him the freedom to turn to one or else the other. But the fact that the inflow of every single thing into him - evil from hell and good from heaven, that is, from the Lord through heaven - is dependent on his freedom is unknown to mankind, who therefore will hardly be ready to believe it.
