9567. 'Their pomegranates and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all [shall be part] of it' means that the factual knowledge of good and the powers must spring from the Divine Spiritual, which comes from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'pomegranates' as factual knowledge of good, dealt with in 9552; from the meaning of 'branches' as truths derived from good, and consequently powers, also dealt with above, in 9555, 9558; and from the meaning of the lampstand, which they 'shall be of one piece with', as the Divine Spiritual from the Lord in heaven and in the Church, dealt with in 9548. From these meanings it is evident that 'the pomegranates and the flowers shall be of one piece with the lampstand' means that the factual knowledge of good and the powers must spring from the Divine Spiritual, which comes from the Lord. What all this implies, see immediately below.

20. People who are involved in evil and in truth at the same time can be compared to eagles that soar high overhead but plunge down if they lose their wings. Something like this happens to people after death, when they become spirits, if they have understood, discussed, and taught truths but have never turned to God in their lives. Their comprehension lifts them on high; and sometimes they get into heaven and pretend to be angels of light. However, when they are deprived of their truths and dismissed, they plunge into hell. Eagles mean predatory people who have intellectual vision, and wings mean spiritual truths.

I mentioned that these are people who never turn to God in their lives. "Turning to God in our lives" simply means thinking that some particular evil action is a sin against God and therefore not doing it.
