Arcana Coelestia #12
12. The sixth state is when he utters truths and performs good deeds from faith and consequently from love. What he brings forth at this point are called a living creature and a beast. And because at this point he starts to act from faith and also simultaneously from love, he becomes a spiritual man, who is called an image. The spiritual life of that man finds its delight in, and is sustained by, the things which are associated with cognitions of faith and with charitable acts, which are called his food; and his natural life finds its delight in, and is sustained by, those which belong to the body and the senses. The latter give rise to conflict until love rules and he becomes a celestial man.

2476. So far as his exterior memory is concerned, though he retains every single part of it he is not allowed to use it, only the interior memory. The reasons for this are many. The first, which has been stated already, is that from his interior memory he is enabled in the next life to speak and mix universally with everyone. The second is that this memory belongs properly to the spirit and is suited to its state at that time. For exterior things, that is to say, facts, worldly things, and bodily things, are suited to man and correspond to his state while he is in the world and in the body. But interior things, that is to say, those that are rational, spiritual, and celestial, are suited to and correspond to his spirit.
