More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
Moreover, no one is judged from the natural man, thus not so long as he lives in the natural world, for man is then in a natural body but everyone is judged in the spiritual man, and therefore when he comes into the spiritual world, for man is then in a spiritual body.
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 is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
Man was so created by the Lord as to be able while living in the body to speak with spirits and angels, as in fact was done in the most ancient times for, being a spirit clothed with a body, he is one with them
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
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
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
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love is the life of humanity.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
First of all it must be known who the God of heaven is, since upon that all the other things depend.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In the Christian world... it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
