One's distance from Heaven is in proportion to the measure of one's self-love.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Seen in its own right, a loving person's inner spirit is an angel of heaven, and while we are living in the body we are also in the company of angels, even though we are not aware of it and once we are released from the body we join them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
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
