Emanuel Swedenborg

The divine essence itself is love and wisdom.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
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
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
Image
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
Image
Sacred scripture is like a mirror in which we see God, although each in a different way.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
Love is the life of humanity.
