10719. Heaven with man is in his internal, thus in his thinking and willing; and from this is in the external, that is,

in his speaking and doing. But heaven is not in the external without the internal, for all hypocrites can speak well and do well, but not think well and will well. By thinking well, and willing well, is meant thinking and willing what is from the love of good, and from the faith of truth.
