42. Those who have a merely general idea of the internal and the external man, suppose that it is the internal man which thinks and wills, and the external man which speaks and acts; because thinking and willing are internal, and speaking and acting are external. But it is to be borne in mind, that, when a man thinks intelligently, and wills wisely, he then thinks and wills from a spiritual Internal: but that when a man does not think intelligently, and will wisely, he thinks and wills from a natural Internal. When a man, therefore, thinks rightly concerning the Lord, and the things that belong to the Lord; and when he thinks rightly concerning the neighbour, and the things belonging to the neighbour, and wills rightly towards them, he thinks and wills from a spiritual Internal, because he then thinks from a faith of the truth and from a love of good, and consequently from heaven. But when a man thinks wrongly concerning them, and wills wrongly towards them, he then thinks and wills from a natural Internal, because from a faith of what is false and a love of what is evil, and consequently from hell. In a word, in so far as a man is in love to the Lord, and in love towards the neighbour, he is in a spiritual Internal, and he thinks and wills from it, and from it he also speaks and acts; but, in so far as a man is in the love of self and the love of the world, he is in a natural Internal, and from it thinks and wills, and also from it speaks and acts.
