AC 3167 [end 1-2]

Man has been so created
that in him spiritual things and natural things,
that is, his spiritual and natural man,
should agree or make a one;
but in this case
the spiritual man ought to dispose
all things in the natural,
and the natural ought to obey,
as a servant his lord.

But by the fall
the natural man began to exalt itself
above the spiritual man,
and thus inverted Divine order itself;
consequently the natural man separated itself
from the spiritual,
and no longer possessed any spiritual things,
except such as could enter as through chinks,
and confer the capacity of thinking and speaking.
But in order that spiritual things
might again flow into the natural man,
this had to be regenerated by the Lord;
that is, truth out of the natural man
must be initiated and conjoined
with good in the rational;
and when this is effected,
spiritual things come to the natural man,
for then the light of heaven flows in
and enlightens the things in the natural man,
and causes them to receive light;
the goods therein
the heat of light, that is, love and charity;
 and the truth the rays of light, that is, faith;
and in this way natural good and natural truth
receive spiritual things.
In this case
natural good is all the delight and pleasure
that come from having as an end
the being of service to what is spiritual,
thus to the neighbor,
still more to the public well-being,
and still more to the Lord's kingdom,
and above all to the Lord;
and natural truth
is all the doctrine and memory-knowledge
that has as an end to be wise,
that is, the doing of these things.

. . . all unrest is from evil and falsity,
and all peace is from good and truth.
