(13) Wisdom or the understanding, from the potency given to it by love or the will, can be elevated, and can receive such things as are of light out of heaven, and perceive them.

(14) Love or the will can in like manner be elevated and can perceive such things as are of heat out of heaven, provided it loves its consort in that degree.

(15) Otherwise love or the will draws down wisdom or the understanding from its elevation, that it may act as one with itself.

(16) Love or the will is purified by wisdom in the understanding, if they are elevated together.

(17) Love or the will is defiled in the understanding and by it, if they are not elevated together.

(18) Love, when purified by wisdom in the understanding, becomes spiritual and celestial.

(19) Love, when defiled in the understanding and by it, becomes natural and sensual.

(20) The capacity to understand called rationality, and the capacity to act called freedom, still remain.

(21) Spiritual and celestial love is love towards the neighbor and love to the Lord; and natural and sensual love is love of the world and love of self.

(22) It is the same with charity and faith and their conjunction as with the will and understanding and their conjunction.
