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.
The Most Important Teachings About Order
By Rev. Prescott A. Rogers
And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:31).
1. All order is from the Lord.
2. It exists in all of creation, spiritual and natural.
3. Disorder is the perversion of order, and it exists in hell and in the world.
4. Order is a matter of essence, having to do with love and wisdom, and of form.
