More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity alone, or love and compassion, is what joins [the Lord and a person] together.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
And as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The nature of heaven is to provide a place there for all who lead good lives, no matter what their religion may be.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
A heavenly society is a harmony of many.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Everything good or true that the angels inspire in us is God's, so God is constantly talking to us. He talks very differently, though, to one person than to another.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
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
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The sky is an enormous man.
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
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The divine essence itself is love and wisdom.
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
