CL 436, 437, 444 - equilibrium

CL 436
. . . human rationality can turn itself in either direction and receive an influx.
If it turns in the direction of good, it receives an influx from above,
and then the person's rationality is formed more and more
for the reception of heaven.
But if it turns in the direction of evil, it receives an influx from below,
and then his rationality is formed more and more
for the reception of hell.

CL 437
The equilibrium between them is a spiritual equilibrium,
because it exists between good and evil.
Because of this equilibrium a person has free will.
In it and through it a person thinks and wills
and so speaks and acts as though of himself. . .
If he turns himself to the Lord,
his rationality and freedom are led by the Lord;
but if he turns away from the Lord,
his rationality and freedom are led by hell.

CL 444 [6]
"But let me explain this matter a little more clearly.
The Lord views every person by looking at his forehead,
and this sight passes to the back of his head.
Behind the forehead is the cerebrum,
and in the back of the head the cerebellum.
The cerebrum is devoted to wisdom and its truths,
while the cerebellum is devoted to love and its goods.
Therefore a person who looks with his face to the Lord
receives wisdom from Him,
and through that wisdom, love.
But a person who looks away from the Lord
receives love and not wisdom;
and love without wisdom
is love that originates with man
and not from the Lord.
Moreover, because this love allies itself with falsities,
it does not acknowledge God,
but embraces itself as a god . . . .
