AE 543b [4]
For the spiritual man from infancy is closed, and is opened and formed only by Divine truths received by the understanding and will; and in so far in extent and quality as the spiritual man is opened and formed, the evils of the natural and sensual man are removed, and goods are implanted in place of them. As all evils have their seat in the natural and sensual man it follows that falsities do also, because all falsities are of evil; for when man lusts and wills from evil he thinks and speaks from falsity.
Unless the thought is elevated from sensual things, mans has but little wisdom. (Also in AC 5089.)
