AC 2675, 2678, 2679 - the first state of those who are being reformed and are becoming spiritual

AC 2675
With those who are becoming spiritual,
good and truth are implanted by the Lord
in the affection of memory-knowledges;
and this so that they desire to know and to learn
what is good and true
for the purpose and use
of becoming rational and of becoming spiritual . . ..
The entering of the Lord like this does indeed flow in with all,
but no others receive it for that end and that use
except those who can be reformed;
the rest do it for other ends and other uses,
which are innumerable,
and have regard to themselves and the world.

AC 2678
. . .  the first state of those who are being reformed
and are becoming spiritual . . .
is that they suppose they do good and think truth from themselves,
thus from what is their own, nor do they then know otherwise;
and when told that all good and truth are from the Lord
they do not indeed reject it,
but do not acknowledge it at heart,
because they do not feel it, nor interiorly perceive
that anything flows in from any other source than themselves.
As all who are being reformed are in such a state at first,
they are therefore left by the Lord in what is their own;
nevertheless they are led by means of this without knowing it.

AC 2679
. . . all things
even the least with a person
are foreseen by the Lord,
and are provided for his future state to eternity;
and this for his good insofar as is in any wise possible,
and as he suffers himself to be led by the Lord.
