38. The internal man is what is called the spiritual man, because it is in the light of heaven, which light is spiritual; and the external man is what is called the natural man, because it is in the light of the world, which light is natural. The man whose Internal is in the light of heaven, and whose External is in the light of the world, is a spiritual man as to both; but the man whose Internal is not in the light of heaven, but only in the light of the world in which also is his External, is a natural man as to both. It is the spiritual man, who, in the Word, is called a living man, and the natural man who is called a dead man.
