TCR 105 - two states in order

TCR 105 [2]

That every person
who from being natural becomes spiritual
passes through two states,
entering through the first into the second,
and thus from the world into heaven . . ..
. . . in the first state,
which is called the state of reformation,
a person has complete freedom to act
according to the rationality of his understanding:
and in the second,
which is the state of regeneration,
he has the same freedom;
but he now wills and acts, 
and thinks and speaks,
from a new love and a new intelligence,
which are from the Lord.
For in the first state
the understanding takes the chief part
and the will the second;
while in the following state
the will takes the chief part,
and the understanding the second;
nevertheless, the understanding now acts from the will,
and not the will through the understanding.
The conjunction of good and truth, 
of charity and faith,
and of the internal and external,
is effected in the same way.
