More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
To will and not to do when there is opportunity is in reality not to will and to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it
Emanuel Swedenborg
So far as the Angels are recipients of that spiritual heat and light they are loves and wisdoms, not loves and wisdoms for themselves, but from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
Emanuel Swedenborg
I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The nature of heaven is to provide a place there for all who lead good lives, no matter what their religion may be.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are, because God is.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity means love towards the neighbor and compassion, for anyone who loves his neighbor as himself also has as much compassion for him in his suffering as he does for himself in his own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
There are angels that receive more interiorly the Divine that goes forth from the Lord, and others that receive it less interiorly the former are called celestial angels, and the latter spiritual angels
Emanuel Swedenborg
The divine essence itself is love and wisdom.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Conscience is God's presence in humans.
Emanuel Swedenborg
That all who have ever been born men from the beginning of creation, and are deceased, are either in heaven or in hell, follows from those things which have been said and shown in the preceding article, namely, that Heaven and Hell are from the human race.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Anyone can see that intending and not acting when we can is not really intending, and loving and not doing good when we can is not really loving.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Everything good or true that the angels inspire in us is God's, so God is constantly talking to us. He talks very differently, though, to one person than to another.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Wherefore the brain must be looked upon as the universal and general sensory and at the same time as the universal and general motory organ of the body and finally as the universal and general laboratory of the animal spirits and the blood or of the essential juices of life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Man, before he is being regenerated, does not even know that any internal man exists, much less is he acquainted with its nature and quality.
Emanuel Swedenborg
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.
Emanuel Swedenborg
