AC 2181 - Conformity and Conjunction Within Us

AC 2181

And gave it to the servant,
and he hastened to make it ready.
(Genesis 18:7)

. . . there exists in every person
an internal, a rational in a middle position, and a natural,
and that these three
are distinct and separate from one other . . ..
One should also recognize
that these should be made to conform
so that they make one,
thus so that rational good conforms with natural good,
and recognize that unless they do conform
and so are joined together,
there cannot be any Divine perception.
Since the Lord's Divine Perception is the subject here,
it is the conformity and conjunction
of the two kinds of good
that are meant in the internal sense
by the words that appear here.
