1580. That 'is not the whole land before you?' means all good is clear from the meaning in the good sense of 'land', here 'the land of Canaan', as the celestial, and therefore goodness, dealt with already in 566, 620, 636, 662. Here the internal man addresses the external man, or rather addresses these things in the external man which do not agree with the internal, addressing them in the way that a person is accustomed to do when he detects some evil present in himself from which he wishes to be separated, as happens in times of temptation and conflict. It is the well known experience of those who have undergone temptations and conflicts to detect within themselves things that disagree, from which they cannot be separated as long as conflict exists. Yet they still desire such a separation; indeed they sometimes desire it so much that they are furious with that evil and want to drive it out. These are the things meant here.
