160. [160.] 27. People are separated, all according to their life, thus in accordance with their affections - not according to their outward life but according to their inward life, for this is the life of their thought arising from their will or affection - and no one has any inward life except as a consequence of religion. One's outward life is shaped by the morality in the civil state and is formed in accordance with its laws. Therefore, unless a person's moral life draws its quality from a spiritual source and changes its outward expression in consequence of it, the person has no spiritual life, thus no conjunction with heaven; and those who are not conjoined with heaven are conjoined with hell. In that case, then, even if they had not done evils in the world, after their departure from the world they do evils with delight. Thus their state is changed.
