He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.

The act of exploring what the men are, and moreover the separation of the good from the evil, is visitation and the good are then removed, and the evil are left behind.

Conscience is God's presence in humans.

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

Emanuel Swedenborg
Love is the life of humanity.
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
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The sky is an enormous man.
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
