AC 8513 - living according to order

AC 8513
Everything that is done according to Divine order
is inwardly open even to the Lord,
and thus has heaven in it;
but everything that is not done according to Divine order
is inwardly closed, and does not hold heaven within it.

[3]  How to live so that one's life is in keeping with order
is taught by the Word
and by religious teachings drawn from the Word.
The person who does not look beyond externals
can never grasp such ideas.
He does not know what the internal is;
he scarcely knows of the existence of the internal,
let alone that it can be opened up,
and that when it has been opened 

it has heaven within it.
