More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

The activity of love and faith is what makes heaven.
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
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
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
God loves every one of us but cannot directly benefit us he can benefit us only indirectly through each other. For this reason he inspires us with his love
Emanuel Swedenborg
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.
Emanuel Swedenborg
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg
