Quote

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.

More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

Image
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
Image
Justice is following the divine design in all that one does, and bringing back into the divine design things that have fallen away from that design. Justice is the divine design itself.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
And as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The Lord casts no one down in Hell, but the spirit casts himself hither.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The activity of love and faith is what makes heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
In the world it is little comprehended what love is and yet it is man's very life. That this is little comprehended is evident from the common saying What is love? What it is, is not known for the reason that love is not manifest to the understanding, and the understanding is the receptacle of the light of heaven.
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
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The divine essence itself is love and wisdom.
