AC 10279 - the Word opens heaven; AC 10283 - "spirit", "flesh"

AC 10276 [9]
. . .  unless the Lord had come into the world
and opened the interior things of the Word,
the communication with the heavens
by means of the Word
would have been broken;
and then the human race on this earth would have perished,
for a person can think no truth and do no good
except from heaven, that is, through heaven from the Lord;
and the Word is that which opens heaven.


AC 10283 [13]
. . . In the Word, "spirit" is opposed to "flesh,"
because by "spirit" is signified life from the Lord,
and by "flesh" life from man . . ..
