Heavenly Doctrine (Tafel) n. 234

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

234. Heaven resides with a man in his Internal, and thus in volition and thought, from love and faith, and thence it is in his External which consists in acting and speaking from love and faith. But heaven is not in the External apart from the Internal; for all hypocrites are able to act and speak well, but they cannot will and think well.
