SPIRITUAL—­The difference between what is spiritual and natural is like that between prior and posterior, which bear no determinate proportion to each other, 326.  Spiritual principles without natural, which are their constituent have no consistence, 52.  Spiritual principles considered in themselves have relation to love and wisdom, 52.  The things relating to the church, which are called spiritual things, reside in the inmost principles with man, 130.  By the spiritual is meant he who loves spiritual things, and thereby is wise from the Lord, 281.  A man (homo) without religion is not spiritual, but remains natural, 149.  To become spiritual is to be elevated out of the natural principle, that is, out of the light and heat of the world into the light and heat of heaven, 347.  Man becomes spiritual in proportion as his rational principle begins to derive a soul from influx out of heaven, which is the case so far as it is affected and delighted with wisdom, 145.
