AC 9798-9799, 9803 - to be intelligent and wise

AC 9798-9799, 9803
In proportion as the internal person has been opened to the Lord,
and the external person subordinated to it,
in the same proportion a person is in the fire of heaven;
thus in the same proportion he is in the will of good.
The fire of heaven is the Divine love that proceeds from the Lord;
to be kindled by this fire is to will good.

Therefore the understanding of truth
is to see truths from the Word
by virtue of enlightenment from the Lord;
and the will of good
is to will these truths from affection.

From this it is evident
that to be intelligent and wise does not consist
in understanding and being wise about many things of the world;
but in understanding and willing the things of heaven.
For there are those
who understand and are wise about many things of the world,
and yet do not believe or will the things of heaven;
thus are insane.
These are they of whom the Lord says:

I speak by parables;
because seeing they see not,
and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand.
(Matthew 13:13)

The world cannot receive the Spirit of truth,
because it sees Him not,
neither knows Him.
(John 14:17)
