The Internal and External, which have been treated of, are the Internal and External of man's spirit; his body is merely a superadded External, within which those exist; for the body does nothing of itself, but from its spirit which is in it. It is to be observed, that a man's spirit, after separation from the body, continues to think and will, to speak and act: thinking and willing is his Internal, and speaking and acting his External; on this subject, see the work on Heaven and Hell, nos. 234-245, 265-275, 432-444, 453-484.
