More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
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
All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.
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
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
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The church of the Lord is spread over all the globe, and is thus universal and all those are in it who have lived in the good of charity in accordance with their religion.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
To will and not to do when there is opportunity is in reality not to will and to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it
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
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
Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.
Emanuel Swedenborg
True wisdom is seeing what is beneficial to your eternal life, and managing your life according to that. You do this when you not only know these things and grasp them with your understanding, but also will and do them.
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
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
For in every particular of the Word there is an internal sense which treats of things spiritual and heavenly, not of things natural and worldly, such as are treated of in the sense of the letter.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The more one is absorbed in so-called philosophy, the greater one's delusion and blindness.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
