More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
Sacred scripture is like a mirror in which we see God, although each in a different way.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
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
I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.
Emanuel Swedenborg
So far as the Angels are recipients of that spiritual heat and light they are loves and wisdoms, not loves and wisdoms for themselves, but from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Faith is knowing and thinking those truths: charity is willing and doing them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Hell and Heaven are near man, yes, in him and every man after death goes to that Hell or heaven in which he was, or to his spirit, during his abode in the world.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Destruction was effected after visitation, for visitation always precedes.
Emanuel Swedenborg
All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity alone, or love and compassion, is what joins [the Lord and a person] together.
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
Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The activity of love and faith is what makes heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
No one's character is completely like another'sthis infinite variety is like a mirror in which we can see the infinity of God the Creator.
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
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
A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.
Emanuel Swedenborg
