Emanuel Swedenborg
Love is the life of humanity.
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

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Conscience is God's presence in humans.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
For the judgment was accomplished not only upon all the men of the Christian church, but also upon all who are called Mohammedans, and, moreover, upon all the Gentiles in the whole world.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
Emanuel Swedenborg
