To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That degree is opened by means of a love of uses in accordancewith the things of the understanding, although by a spiritual love ofuses, which is love towards the neighbor. This degree may grow in likemanner by continuous degrees to its height, and it grows by means ofknowledges of truth and good, that is, by spiritual truths. Yet even bysuch truths the third degree which is called the celestial is not opened;for this degree is opened by means of the celestial love of use, whichis love to the L...ord; and love to the Lord is nothing else than committingto life the precepts of the Word, the sum of which is to flee from evilsbecause they are hellish and devilish, and to do good because it isheavenly and Divine. In this manner these three degrees are successivelyopened in man. 238. So long as man lives in the world he knows nothing of the openingof these degrees within him, because he is then in the natural degree, which is the outmost, and from this he then thinks, wills, speaks, andacts; and the spiritual degree, which is interior, communicates with thenatural degree, not by continuity but by correspondences, andcommunication by correspondences is not sensibly felt.
