AC 7935 - the interior perception of truth, which perception is of conscience

AC 7935
... those who are of the spiritual church
and are liberated by the Lord,
in that this truth must remain fixed in their minds;
that their salvation ought to be accepted as solely from the Lord.
The perception of this truth is of conscience;
for they who are of the spiritual church have not perception
as have those who are of the celestial church,
but in place of it they have conscience.
Conscience with them is born and formed
from the truths of the church wherein they have been born,
which truths have been received by them in childhood and afterward,
and have been confirmed by life,
and in this way have become matters of faith.
To act according to these truths is to act according to conscience,
and to act contrary to them is to act contrary to conscience.
They are fixed in the interior memory as if written there,
and at last are so to speak things that have been impressed in infancy,
which afterward appear quite familiar and as it were innate,
just as do the speech, thoughts, recollections, various reflections,
and, in external matters, the gait, gestures, countenance
and other things into which one is not born, but is introduced by habits.
When the truths of faith also have been impressed in this way,
which takes place in the interior man,
then they in like manner become familiar,
and at last, being as it were innate,
impel the man to think, to will, and to act according to them.
This part of the life is called conscience, and is the life of the spiritual man,
which is to be valued in proportion
as the truths from which he thinks are genuine truths of faith,
and as the goods from which he acts are genuine goods of charity.
