More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
A man after death, is not a natural but a spiritual man nevertheless he still appears in all respects like himself.
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
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
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
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
The divine essence itself is love and wisdom.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are, because God is.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
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
All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
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
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
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
Hell and Heaven are near man, yes, in him and every man after death goes to that Hell or heaven in which he was, or to his spirit, during his abode in the world.
Emanuel Swedenborg
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to affirm whatever he pleases but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Conscience is God's presence in humans.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love is the life of humanity.
