AE 272

All the truths of heaven and of the church
are from Divine good;
truths that are not therefrom are not truths.
Truths that are not from good
are like shells without a kernel,
and like a house in which no person dwells,
but a wild beast;
such are the truths that are called truths of faith
apart from the good of charity;
the good of charity is good from the Lord,
thus Divine good.

AE 275 [21]

He who knows nothing about the spiritual person,
and the truths and goods that are therein,
may suppose that the truths that are in the natural person,
and are called knowledges and scientifics
are not merely the generals of truth,
but are all there is of truth with a person.
But let him know that the truths in the spiritual person,
from which those are that are in the natural,
are incomparably more numerous;
but these truths in the spiritual person
do not come to the perception of the natural person
until he enters the spiritual world, which is after death;
for then person puts off the natural
and puts on the spiritual.
That this is so can be seen from this fact alone,
that angels are in intelligence and wisdom
ineffable* as compared with a person,
and yet they are from the human race.
