More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

Image
In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
All our longings for what is loving and true reach out into heaven. They put us in touch with angels who are feeling the same way and unite us with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Love is the life of humanity.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
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
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
One's distance from Heaven is in proportion to the measure of one's self-love.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The sky is an enormous man.
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
The activity of love and faith is what makes heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
The Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
