AC 6065 - The Double Origin of Good

AC 6065

The goods which are in heaven
and with a person
are from a double origin, namely,
from an origin in the will
and from an origin in the understanding.
In the good that originates in the will
were the most ancient people
who were of the celestial church,
but in the good that originates in the understanding
were the ancient people
who were of the spiritual church.
In the former good are those
who are in the inmost or third heaven,
but in the latter good are those
who are in the middle or second heaven.
. . . The good which originates in the will
is the good from which is truth;
but the good which originates in the understanding
is the good which is from truth, or the good of truth.
In itself this good is nothing else than truth in act.
