CL 305
. . . there are in human minds three regions,
the highest of which is called celestial,
the intermediate one spiritual,
and the lowest one natural.
A person dwells by birth in the lowest region,
but he ascends into the next higher one, called spiritual,
by living according to truths of religion,
and into the highest one
by achieving a marriage of love and wisdom. . ..
[The spiritual region] is the region into which
a person is led by the Lord when he is born anew.. . .
A person is raised into this last region [the celestial region]
by a love of serving useful ends . . ..
