AC 4973
There is in a person a natural mind and a rational mind;
the natural mind is in his external person,
the rational mind in his internal.
Memory-knowledges are the truths of the natural mind,
which are said to be "in their house"
when they are conjoined there with good;
for good and truth constitute together one house,
as husband and wife.
But the goods and truths here treated of
are interior;
for they correspond to
the celestial
of the spiritual
from the rational,
which is represented by Joseph.
The interior corresponding truths in the natural mind
are applications to uses,
and the interior goods therein are uses.
[2] The name "Lord" is often used in the Word;
and one who has no knowledge of the internal sense
supposes that nothing more is meant by it
than what is meant by the use of this term in common speech;
but "Lord" is never used in the Word
except where good is treated of,
and the same is true of "Jehovah;"
but when truth is treated of, "God" and "King" are used.
