Emanuel Swedenborg
Moreover, no one is judged from the natural man, thus not so long as he lives in the natural world, for man is then in a natural body but everyone is judged in the spiritual man, and therefore when he comes into the spiritual world, for man is then in a spiritual body.
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
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
