Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
In the world it is little comprehended what love is and yet it is man's very life. That this is little comprehended is evident from the common saying What is love? What it is, is not known for the reason that love is not manifest to the understanding, and the understanding is the receptacle of the light of heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
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
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Seen in its own right, a loving person's inner spirit is an angel of heaven, and while we are living in the body we are also in the company of angels, even though we are not aware of it and once we are released from the body we join them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.
