AC 6195 - Means of Connection; AC 6208 - Hereditary Natural Good

AC 6195

. . . a person is conjoined either with heaven or with hell,
namely, by means of his loves;
with hell by means of the loves of self and of the world,
but with heaven
by means of the loves of the neighbor and of God.

AC 6208

There are many who enjoy an hereditary natural good,
by virtue of which they feel delight
in doing well to others,
but who have not been imbued
with principles of doing what is good,
either from the Word, the doctrine of the church,
or from their religiosity.
Thus they could not be endowed with any conscience,
for conscience does not come
from natural or hereditary good,
but from the doctrine of truth and good
and a life in accordance therewith.
When such persons come into the other life,
they marvel that they are not received into heaven,
saying that they have led a good life.
But they are told that a good life
from what is natural or hereditary
is not a good life,
but that a good life is from those things
which belong to the doctrine of good and truth
and the consequent life;
for by means of these,
men have principles impressed on them
that concern what is true and good,
and they receive conscience,
which is the plane into which heaven flows.
In order that such persons may know
that this is the case,
they are sent into various societies,
and they then suffer themselves to be led astray
into evils of every kind,
by mere reasonings and the derivative persuasions
that evils are goods and goods evils,
and in this way they are persuaded in every direction,
and are carried away like chaff
before the wind; 
for they are devoid of principles,
and also of a plane into which
the angels may operate and withdraw them from evils.
