Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg

First of all it must be known who the God of heaven is, since upon that all the other things depend.
Emanuel Swedenborg

The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We are, because God is.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Justice is following the divine design in all that one does, and bringing back into the divine design things that have fallen away from that design. Justice is the divine design itself.
