AC 3190
. . . when truth is elevated out of the natural into the rational,
it is taken out of the sphere of worldly light into the sphere of heavenly light,
thus as it were from the obscurity of night into the clearness of day;
for the things which are of the light of the world,
in which are all natural things,
are relatively as in night,
but the things which are of the light of heaven,
in which are spiritual things,
are relatively as in day;
and therefore when truth is elevated
out of the natural toward the rational,
the person is at the same time elevated
into intelligence and into wisdom;
moreover all intelligence and wisdom with a person are from this source.
This is what is signified by
the intellectual part being elevated
above natural memory-knowledges.
