{Footnote 1} A good man, spirit, or angel, is his own good and
his own truth, that is, he is wholly such as his good and truth
are (n. 10298, 10367). This is because good is what makes the
will and truth the understanding; and the will and
understanding make everything of life in man, spirit, or angel
(n. 3332, 3623, 6065). It is the same thing to say that a man,
spirit, or angel is his own love (n. 6872, 10177, 10284).
{Footnote 2} Man has two memories an outer and an inner, or a
natural and a spiritual memory (n. 2469-2494). Man does not
know that he has an inner memory (n. 2470, 2471). How far the
inner memory surpasses the outer (n. 2473). The things
contained in the outer memory are in the light of the world,
but the things contained in the inner are in the light of
heaven (n. 5212). It is from the inner memory that man is able
to think and speak intellectually and rationally (n. 9394). All
things and each thing that a man has thought, spoken, and done,
and that he has seen and heard, are inscribed on the inner
memory (n. 2474, 7398). That memory is the book of his life (n.
2474, 9386, 9841, 10505).
