Verse 2. Or if any one, in the slightest degree, acts according to impure affections in the natural man, or according to evils there, which he has himself contracted, and which are without any spiritual life, whether they are inmost, interior, or external, and this happens to him unconsciously, yet he is in evil.

Like other descriptions of time in the Word, "a day" or a number of "days" describe a spiritual state rather than our natural concept of time. A spiritual "day" describes a state of mind or a state in our relationship with the Lord rather than a 12-hour or 24-hour span of natural time. "Day" describes a state in which we are turned toward the Lord, and are receiving light (which is truth) and heat (which is a desire for good) from the Lord.
