More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
Times of happiness, bliss, and sheer delight intensify as the higher levels of our minds are opened within us One our life on earth is over, these levels keep rising forever.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Conscience is God's presence in humans.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The divine essence itself is love and wisdom.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Angels can recognize the nature of our unique essence on the basis of nothing more than a brief conversation with us. From hearing the tone of our voice angels sense what we love and from hearing what we say, angels sense our level of understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In heaven there are two distinct loves, love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, in the inmost or third heaven love to the Lord, in the second or middle heaven love towards the neighbor.
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
God created us in such a way that our inner self is in the spiritual world and our outer self is in the physical world. This was so that the spiritual part of us, which belongs in heaven, could be planted in the physical part the way a seed is planted in the ground.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The church of the Lord is spread over all the globe, and is thus universal and all those are in it who have lived in the good of charity in accordance with their religion.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Angelic happiness is in service, from service, and according to service.
Emanuel Swedenborg
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg
First of all it must be known who the God of heaven is, since upon that all the other things depend.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love is the life of humanity.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In the Christian world... it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell.
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
Marriages on earth--because they are the seminaries of the human race and of the angels of heaven also because, likewise, they proceed from a spiritual origin, that is, from the marriage of good and truth and since, in addition, the Lord's divine proceeding principally flows into conjugal love--are most holy in the estimation of the angels.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.
Emanuel Swedenborg
A heavenly society is a harmony of many.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity itself consists in acting justly and faithfully in whatever office, business and employment a person is engaged in.
Emanuel Swedenborg
