AC 4364 [2]
... all freedom is of affection or love...
and hence all the conjunction of good with truth
is effected in freedom,
but not in compulsion.
When therefore a person has been led in freedom to good,
truths are then accepted and implanted,
and he begins to be affected by them,
and is thus introduced little by little into heavenly freedom.
When one who has been regenerated
(that is, who loves his neighbor,
and still more who loves the Lord)
reflects upon his past life,
he will find that he has been led by many things of his thought
and by many of his affection.
