AC 6952 & 6954 - be lifted up!

AC 6952 [6]
He who looks downward,
wills what is evil and thinks what is false,
but he who is lifted upward by the Lord,
wills what is good and thinks what is true;
the uplifting by the Lord takes place actually,
and from this a removal from evils and falsities....

AC 6954
From himself man looks downward only,
that is, into the world, and to the earth,
because from himself he is in evil and falsity;
and when he looks thither, then the sensuous has dominion,
and interior things make no opposition,
because they follow the force of the stream, and yield to it.

Nevertheless, not from himself but from the Lord,
man looks upward, that is, to heaven and to the Lord,
which is effected by means of an uplifting;
and when the interiors are uplifted, the sensuous also is uplifted,
but its light is then obscured, because the light of heaven has dominion.
When this takes place,
good and truth from the Lord flow in, and are also received;
and this is meant by power communicated from the Divine.
Yet no others can be uplifted in this way
than those who have lived in the good of faith and of charity.
