Image
We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.
Emanuel Swedenborg

In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions.
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
Image
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
Image
People are unaware that spirits even exist, let alone that angels are present with them.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The sky is an enormous man.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
In the Christian world... it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell.
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
Angelic happiness is in service, from service, and according to service.
Emanuel Swedenborg

The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
