More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young.
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
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity itself consists in acting justly and faithfully in whatever office, business and employment a person is engaged in.
Emanuel Swedenborg
That all who have ever been born men from the beginning of creation, and are deceased, are either in heaven or in hell, follows from those things which have been said and shown in the preceding article, namely, that Heaven and Hell are from the human race.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In heaven there are two distinct loves, love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, in the inmost or third heaven love to the Lord, in the second or middle heaven love towards the neighbor.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity alone, or love and compassion, is what joins [the Lord and a person] together.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
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
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.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
Charity means love towards the neighbor and compassion, for anyone who loves his neighbor as himself also has as much compassion for him in his suffering as he does for himself in his own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
