Arcana Coelestia # 672
672. 'Male' means truth and 'female' good. This has been stated and shown already. In every smallest part of man a kind of marriage exists. Whatever forms part of the understanding is coupled, as in a marriage, to some part of his will. Without such a coupling or marriage, nothing in the slightest is brought forth.
Jeremiah 18:11-12
11
Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return you now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
12
But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone after the stubbornness of his evil heart.
