More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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
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.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The more one is absorbed in so-called philosophy, the greater one's delusion and blindness.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Angelic happiness is in service, from service, and according to service.
Emanuel Swedenborg
And as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
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
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
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
One's distance from Heaven is in proportion to the measure of one's self-love.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The church of the Lord is spread over all the globe, and is thus universal and all those are in it who have lived in the good of charity in accordance with their religion.
Emanuel Swedenborg
God loves every one of us but cannot directly benefit us he can benefit us only indirectly through each other. For this reason he inspires us with his love
Emanuel Swedenborg
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
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
Times of happiness, bliss, and sheer delight intensify as the higher levels of our minds are opened within us One our life on earth is over, these levels keep rising forever.
Emanuel Swedenborg
For the judgment was accomplished not only upon all the men of the Christian church, but also upon all who are called Mohammedans, and, moreover, upon all the Gentiles in the whole world.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.
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
The sky is an enormous man.
Emanuel Swedenborg
