ON THE INTERNAL MAN AND THE EXTERNAL MAN

Human beings have been so created as to be at once both in the spiritual world and the natural world. The spiritual world is where angels live, the natural world is where human beings live. Because human beings are created so as to be in both worlds, they have been given an internal and an external, the internal to enable them to be in the spiritual world, and an external to enable them to be in the natural world. A person's internal is what is called the internal man, the external what is called the external man.
