AC 5076 - the external sensuous is to serve the internal sensuous

AC 5076 [2]
All the external sensuous things of a person . . .
are given to a person and placed in his body
in order that they may serve the internal person
while it is in the world and subject to sensuous things;
and therefore when a person's external sensuous things
begin to rule over his internal sensuous things,
the person is lost;
for the internal sensuous things are considered to be mere servants,
to serve for confirming those things
which the external sensuous things command with authority.
When the external sensuous things are in this state,
they are in inverted order....
