Emanuel Swedenborg

Moreover, no one is judged from the natural man, thus not so long as he lives in the natural world, for man is then in a natural body but everyone is judged in the spiritual man, and therefore when he comes into the spiritual world, for man is then in a spiritual body.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Man was so created by the Lord as to be able while living in the body to speak with spirits and angels, as in fact was done in the most ancient times for, being a spirit clothed with a body, he is one with them
