AC 1554 - the order of being created anew; AC 1568 - the internal & external person

AC 1554
From His earliest infancy
the Lord advanced according to all Divine order
to celestial things, and into celestial things;
and in the internal sense,
the nature of this order
is described by what is said concerning Abram.
According to such order also
are all led who are being created anew by the Lord;
but this order is various with people,
according to the nature and genius of each one.
But the order by which a person is led while being regenerated
is not known to any person,
and not even to the angels, except obscurely,
but to the Lord alone.

AC 1568
In the external person there are many things
with which the internal person is able to dwell together,
such as affections for good
and the delights and pleasures arising from them,
for those delights and pleasures
are the effects of the goods of the internal person
and of his joys and happiness.
When these are the effects they correspond perfectly,
for in that case they belong to the internal person
and not to the external person.
For an effect, as is well known,
is not the product of an effect but of an efficient cause.
Take, for example, charity:
when this shines out of the face,
it is produced not by the face but by the charity within
that so controls the face and produces the effect.

[2] From this it is evident
that there are many things in the external person
that can dwell together and agree with the internal person.
But there are also very many which do not agree,
or together with which the internal person cannot dwell;
this is the case with all things that spring from the love of self,
and from the love of the world,
for all such things regard self as the end,
and the world as the end.
With these the celestial things which are of love to the Lord
and love toward the neighbor cannot agree;
for these look to the Lord as the end,
and to His kingdom
and all things that are of Him and His kingdom as the ends.
The ends of the love of self and the love of the world
look outward or downward;
but the ends of love to the Lord and love toward the neighbor
look inward or upward;
from all which it is evident
that they disagree so much
that they cannot possibly be together.
