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
We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love is the life of humanity.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Anyone can see that intending and not acting when we can is not really intending, and loving and not doing good when we can is not really loving.
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
Charity alone, or love and compassion, is what joins [the Lord and a person] together.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The sky is an enormous man.
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
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
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
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
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
There are angels that receive more interiorly the Divine that goes forth from the Lord, and others that receive it less interiorly the former are called celestial angels, and the latter spiritual angels
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young.
Emanuel Swedenborg
