AC 3128 [3] - Divine good fits in

AC 3128 [3]
Divine good with a person inflows into his rational,
and through the rational into his natural,
and indeed into its memory-knowledges,
that is, into the knowledges and doctrinal things...
and there by a fitting of itself in,
it forms truths for itself,
through which it then enlightens all things that are in the natural man.
But if the life of the natural man is such
that it does not receive the Divine good,
but either repels it, or perverts it, or suffocates it,
then the Divine good cannot be fitted in,
thus it cannot form for itself truths;
and consequently the natural can no longer be enlightened;
for enlightenment in the natural man is effected from good through truths;
and when there is no longer enlightenment, there can be no reformation.
