41. The interiors with those who are spiritual men, are also actually raised towards heaven, for that they chiefly regard. But the interiors belonging to the mind (mens) with those who are merely natural, are actually turned towards the world, for they regard that chiefly. The interiors which belong to the mind (mens) are turned with every one towards that which he loves above all things; and the exteriors which belong to the lower mind (animus), are turned in the same direction as the interiors.
