Image
We are, because God is.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to affirm whatever he pleases but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
First of all it must be known who the God of heaven is, since upon that all the other things depend.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The act of exploring what the men are, and moreover the separation of the good from the evil, is visitation and the good are then removed, and the evil are left behind.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
What is true is true, and what is false is false.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
In the world it is little comprehended what love is and yet it is man's very life. That this is little comprehended is evident from the common saying What is love? What it is, is not known for the reason that love is not manifest to the understanding, and the understanding is the receptacle of the light of heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Man, before he is being regenerated, does not even know that any internal man exists, much less is he acquainted with its nature and quality.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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.
