Arcana Coelestia #35
35. Man has two inherent powers of will and understanding. When the understanding is governed by the will they then constitute one mind and so one life; for what a person in that case wills and does he also thinks and intends. But when the understanding is at variance with the will, as it is with people who claim to have faith and yet live otherwise, then a mind previously one is split in two. One half seeks to transport itself into heaven, while the other inclines towards hell. And because the will is what accomplishes everything, the whole man would rush straight into hell unless the Lord took pity on him.
Job 28:15-19
15
It can't be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price.
16
It can't be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17
Gold and glass can't equal it, neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine Gold.
18
No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
