AC 10400 - the internal man, the internal sense of the Word, and the angels in heaven

AC 10400 [3-4]
. . . the internal sense itself,
which in some measure lies open to everyone
(even if he does not know what the internal sense is)
who is in what is external from what is internal,
that is, whose internal man is open.
For heaven (which is in the internal sense of the Word)
flows in with such a man when he reads the Word, enlightens him,
and gives him perception, and thus teaches him.
Nay, if you will believe it,
with man the internal man is of itself in the internal sense of the Word,
because it is a heaven in the least form,
and consequently when it is open it is with the angels in heaven,
and is therefore also in like perception with them.

But of the nature of these ideas man is not aware
so long as he lives in the body;
but he comes into them spontaneously when he comes into the other life,
because they are implanted in him,
and by means of them he is forthwith in fellowship with the angels.
From this it is evident that the man whose internal is open,
is in the internal sense of the Word,
although he is not aware of it.
From this he has enlightenment when he reads the Word,
but according to the light
that he can have by means of the knowledges which he has.
